I had a brief meeting with the men's ball hockey team tonight before the game. We went over some strategy diagrammatically on a white board, showing the relative merits of some changes to offensive play in the defensive zone. When put in practice in game situations, it helped us hold our high-flying opponents to only 1 goal!
