How do you position yourself in a hockey game at each faceoff?

Answer 1

Nose to nose with their center, waiting for the puck to drop, on one team. On my other team I play defense, usually left, so I stand a bit behind my left wing and a little over, in line with my D partner.

Answer 2

If youre asking how to win a faceoff: look at Rod Brind'Amor. Your stance should be wide, your top hand should be high, your eyes should be on the puck in the ref's hand. Your mussels should be loaded and ready to strike like a snake. Bottom hand should be low.

If youre asking about configurations, in the defensive zone im a firm believer in keeping 3 to the inside, one behind. Most teams use a 2 weakside, 1 behind, 1 strong side, but the strong side winger is in better defensive position in the middle of the ice.

you can get creative in the offensive zone.

Answer 3

I don't know what forwards choose to do, but as a defenceman at the Centre Ice draw, we stagger our setup so that one defenceman is at the bottom of the circle towards his side and the other defenceman is back around the dot. This is so that if the puck gets tied up or the opposing centre get the puck, there is someone there to get at him if he gets by the defensive centre. If the offensive centre gets past the first defenceman, the other can back him up, creating a wave effect that will hopefully jar the puck.
