Im a foward but I plan on playing defense when I start playing ice. I play inline hockey right now and I want to improve my defensive game.
Today, I bailed out my defenseman on and it ended up being a two on one. Im skating backwards, cheating a little bit towards the puckhandler, blocking the passing lane with my stick. Keep in mind this is no-contact. If I try to poke check the puckhandlers stick he'll more than likely thread the needle and it'll end up in the net.
Anyways, I was skating backwards, puckhandler faked his shot and tried a pass. The pass hit my skate and into the net.
Did I make a bad play? What would you have done in a non-conact league?
I really can't think of anyway else to play it. I guess I could blame the goalie for cheating but I felt respondsible.
Any input would be nice.
