In this episode of Our Kids Play Hockey, Lee and Mike shine a spotlight on one of hockey's most vital yet underappreciated positions: the defenseman. They break down why strong defensive play is the key to offensive success and overall team stability.

It's time to give defensemen the appreciation they deserve.--Key Takeaways:1.Defense Creates Offense: Strong defensive positioning and smart play drive successful offensive transitions.2.The House Matters: The area in front of the net, known as “the house,” is where most goals are scored. Great defense keeps opponents out of this zone.3.Positionless Hockey Starts With Understanding Roles: Players who know every position's responsibilities are more valuable to their teams.4.Patience Is a Virtue: Great defensemen dictate play by slowing it down when necessary and guiding opponents into low-percentage areas.5.Stats Beyond Points: Celebrate and track defensive contributions like takeaways, blocked shots, and breakout passes—they're critical for success.--Practical Tips for Parents, Coaches, and Players:•Parents: Encourage your young players to try all positions, including defense, to understand the game fully. Celebrate non-scoring stats like takeaways and blocked shots.•Coaches: Emphasize skating, positioning, and decision-making in practices to develop smarter, more reliable defensemen.•Players: Embrace roles and responsibilities on both sides of the ice, knowing that defensive skills make you more desirable to coaches.-- #OurKidsPlayHockey #HockeyDefense #Teamwork #HockeyLifeClick To Text The Our Kids Play Hockey Team!Looking for the best gift to give your team at the end of this season?
