Play: Cross Crease Pass


Description:

Similar to plays in the past, the creator sets up and completes a cross-crease pass from the aggressor and shot on goal. The basic concept is to get the opponent goalie to setup on the wrong side of the field, then shoot and score around behind him before he has time to react.
