What is "backchecking"?
Backchecking is a defensive strategy in hockey where a player skates quickly back toward their own goal to prevent the opposing team from scoring, especially after a turnover or when the puck is moving in the opposite direction. The player focuses on getting into position to disrupt the attacking players, block shots, or break up passes. Backchecking is important for defending against fast breaks and ensuring that the opposing team does not have an easy scoring chance, helping to keep the game balanced. It requires speed, awareness, and teamwork.
