It’s going to be a very boring season for the Hawks goalies.
Thats what happens when you play a 3-3 zone at this age. Will come back to bite those defensemen though when they don't know how to play defense.
Silly statement, sounds like your kid's team must have lost to the Hawks.
Actually my kid is on the hawks.
Against an over matched opponent like 91 did they really play zone?
yep
Ok then, you watched a different game entirely. There was some zone, but there was a lot of on high ball pressure and pressure behind. Team 91 kids were stripped of possession over and over far outside what a packed 3-3 zone could produce- and I am not bashing 91. They worked hard and undoubtedly are good players. How amazing is it that when a team loses against the Hawks, they blame it on the Hawks' defensive schemes and somehow indict them over this? When has this been a thing? Hawks are good. Teams need to adjust against zones, man to man, and everything in between. Maybe someone will beat them, maybe not. That is why you play the game.
