Offensive Zone Possession: 2-3 (Short Zone) image
Basic principle: contract on defense. If F1 is in danger of losing a corner battle, the three high players short the zone and sit atop opposing forwards to pre-emptively deny the breakout. This proactive defensive play forces the opposing team to either flip the puck out for F3 to retrieve, or bump it to the opposing corner against D2’s pinch.
