Skill Name:
Puck Back Through Legs

Introduction of the Movement:
The Puck Back Through Legs move relies partially on deception but mostly on moving the puck quickly over a long distance. This is another “teaser” move where the puck carrier tries to get the defender to chase the puck only to find when they reach out it is no longer there. Because the skater moves into a two-foot glide position to execute this move there is also a “change of pace” that adds to the effectiveness in deking around the defender.

The Puck Back Through Legs move is typically done on what is considered a player's “off wing”. That is, by a left-handed player on the right-hand side of the ice, or vice versa. It is also typically followed by drive skating to the goal, or occasionally just used as a move to gain some time and space (increased distance from the defender).

A secondary use of Puck Back Through Legs is in receiving a pass where the player has to reach well back behind to catch the puck and then bring it forward into a good control position.

Essential Movement:
The player begins by moving the puck from a control position in front of the body to a position behind the body on the forehand side by twisting the upper body. To maximize the reach behind the players’ hands are drawn close together. The player then stops moving his/her feet, looks in a direction to sell a fake pass, then suddenly, with a quick pull, draws the puck back up between his/her legs to a position back in front of the body. This maneuver is effectively like a short pass to one’s self.
The movement of the puck should be as great a distance as possible without losing control.

Segmented Movement:
-Begin by moving the puck from in front of the body to the forehand side and as far back behind the body as possible. The upper body rotates (twists) over the lower body and the hands are brought close together to facilitate a long reach.
-The player enters a two-foot glide phase and attempts to “sell” a fake pass by looking strongly towards a well-positioned teammate.
-With a quick two-hand pull (or pop) of the puck, the puck is sent back up, through the players' legs to a control position back in front of the body.
-The puck will be trapped (caught) on the backhand side of the stick in a position as far in front of the body as possible without losing control.

Common Errors:
-Puck stays too far to the outside and thus the player can’t create the proper angle to pull the puck back through the legs.
-The total distance the puck moves is too short making the move ineffective against the defender.
-The player drops his/her head and looks back and down at the puck thereby losing any deception and setting him/herself up to be bodychecked.
-Not able to pull the puck back through the legs with enough force.
