Types of Dodges to the Island
- Justin Ward
- Off-ball guys, create space, don't let 1 man cover 2, all 5 guys should put themselves in a passing lane
- Boyle Rule: When you are looking at your defender, ask yourself the question am I faster or more athletic?
- If you are, then go with 1 hard move with conviction
- If you are not, then pick your spot to create leverage at the goal line or the apex of the back of the goal
- Come Around - beat your guy around the cage
- backhand - running to the crease stick to the inside and shoot backhand
- Runaway - Seen as a bailout to a come around, hide the stick well and dodge up and away at GLE and shoot (must be practiced)
- Inside Roll - use your bottom hand elbow to push the guy out, try to run to opposite pipe
- Flat Roll - Like an inside roll but further out and roll at GLE then gain space inside
- Rocker - Create the illusion that we want to roll where we came from, rock your head and shoulders to show the fake
- Step Back - Fade away step away shot, use your man as a screen
- Question Mark - Efficiency and timing, point your stick out change hands and shoot inside, time it on a check. 2 Step question mark: first step into your man, then out to the sideline and out and shoot
- High Island - drive high, try to do a hockey stop (inside foot driving) and have space to come back and shoot
