What happens when one disobeys the first 5 laws of Hockey?

Sequence 2:

Now let’s see what the GB players do, with the ball? What is their thought process & plan of action?

Even the GB players have forgotten that the ball travels fasterthan the player. Law # 1. Modern players are so rich in speed, strength & stamina. And work very hard. Now, they – we - need to improve upon; Reading the Play & Decision-making Ability. See the RW is wide open.

Still, there is time to pass the ball to the RW. Or to RH. All 3 GB players are running in a straight line. Is it a 100 meters sprint? Where have the concepts of width & depth gone? Law # 5

GB forward does not make the best of thegolden opportunity to generate a counterattack. She has been tackled in the Play makingspace of the ROQ

Time to Reflect and Rethink

GB player employed the same tactic as the Kiwi player had done a few seconds earlier … Run with the ball hard & fast

• In this situation, the GB player had a lot of support to implement a give & go. Law # 2

• The best move was to pass the ball to the R.W. first time or the 2nd player on the right could have slowed down & drop back, to form a triangle

We need to refine our skills of “reading the play” to the highest degree. Reading the play or game sense can be defined as a skill of identifying & understanding patterns of play.
