  3. Spacing out will allow my team to have a lot more control over the ball instead of it just being a large cluster-party of hockey sticks in a 2 foot radius. Spacing forces the opposite team to spread out more, leaving more openings to score.

  4. Spacing out in a game can help a team win the game. If someone on your team draws more than one defender, then someone else on your team is going to be open. Then if the person passes to the open person then a team is probably going to score more and win.

    One way spacing can help our team is that our team can pass the ball more acurately and wait for the perfect shot. this way, we will have more oppurtunites to score, instead of taking random shots from half court. Also, there will be more open players for more shots

  14. Spacing out will allow people to pass across the court and get easier goals instead of having to dribble and fight it out for every inch of the arena. Spacing, if done right, can make a huge difference as it allows better teamwork with all the openings to pass through.

  17. Spacing out can make players get open for shots, and create new oppertunities for players in open areas. If a player is in open space, he or she can create good scoring chances by shooting or passing.

  19. Spacing in hockey is essential because it allows players to have a clear view of the field in front of them, and allows for easier anticipation of the next move. For passes spacing is important so that the puck may be effectively moved up and down the court.

  24. sorry im a little late to comment,

    Spacing opens up the "court" to increase pass accuracy and sets up the team for better shots on goal .

    also spacing is a great tactic when playing against a team with a man on man defense because it can be used effectively to tire out the opposing team and therefore giving an upper hand.

    but, using spacing for defense is not so great a tactic, because it illogically leaves the goal open and gives the other team more angles from which to shoot. but this can be used wisely on defense only if the teammates on defense are constantly switching spots with another teammate, although this tactic will tire your team faster it causes an almost constant set of walls at almost every angle protecting the goal.
