Board Pass: To avoid a defender the puck carrier passes the puck off the boards (to a team mate or him/herself).

Closing the Gap or Gap Control:
A retreating defender adjusts speed and skating pattern so the distance between the defender and the puck carrier is lessened in order to get the puck carrier within poke checking range.

Cross:
Two offensive players exchange positions to accomplish isolation and force a decision by a defender.

Drive Delay: An offensive individual tactic whereby the puck carrier gains possession of the blueline and turns away from the defender to save time and space while looking for support.

Give and Go: An offensive tactic; pass and aggressively skate to become an option for the player just passed to.

Head on a Swivel: A technique utilized to observe and to read the entire ice surface, by quickly rotating the head and glancing over both shoulders.

Net Drive: Offensive tactic whereby the puck carrier drives to the net wide around the defender while shielding the puck with the body and cuts in towards the net.
