Record 2 1979-06-22

English

Subject field(s)
  • Ice Hockey
OBS

The biggest problem in using controlled breakouts is that the play comes to a complete stop in the defensive zone, allowing the opposition a good opportunity to forecheck aggressively, or set up a strong defense against the potential breakout.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Hockey sur glace
OBS

Le plus grand problème en matière d'échappée contrôlée, est que le jeu s'arrête complètement dans la zone défensive, permettant ainsi à l'équipe adverse de préparer une solide défense ou de réagir fortement face à une échappée éventuelle.

OBS

«sortie de zone contrôlée» : Selon M. Parayne de l'Association canadienne de hockey amateur «breakout» est une sortie de zone et non une échappée qui est l'équivalent de «breakaway».
