¶ Description
The 2-2-2 has two forwards, two mids, and two backs. There is great variety in the setup of the 2-2-2, this is one possible setup.
Each position has a specific job, and the details will vary between teams, but the general roles are described here:
Forwards: These players generally stay ahead of the puck, meaning they stay between the puck and the goal they are trying to score at. Their goal is to receive forward passes from the mids and backs and drive the puck forwards when they receive it. To help with defense, forwards come back towards the play, still in front of the puck, and interfere with the opponents. They can do this by back picking the opponents, blocking passing lanes and generally causing chaos in the opponents offense.
Mids: These two players are responsible for covering their side of the formation. The mid on the side of the playing area that the puck is on dives behind the puck and drives the puck forward trying to get it to the forwards that are ahead of them. The other back stays ready to receive a swing pass form the backs and is also ready to engage the opposing outside player if the other team swings the puck.
Backs: These two players cycle with each other, covering the center of the formation. They are free to drive the puck forward, or diagonally across the playing area. Their primary goal is to get the puck to one of the forwards.
