Backcheck
The backcheck is an ice hockey defensive transition play made (primarily) in the neutral zone. It is a type of checking. The purpose of the backcheck is to try to limit the opponent's options as they head up the ice towards the backchecking team's end zone. The backcheck may be initiated by situations such as having lost the puck in the opponent's half of the ice, the opponents having played through the first line of pressure in their own end zone, or having lost a faceoff in the neutral zone. In simpler words, backchecking is when a team loses possession of the puck, typically in their offensive zone, and then chases the opposing team as the opposing team skates down the ice towards the first team's defensive zone. Backchecking is typically done by the forwards on the team, as the defensemen are typically already in position and playing against the opposing team.
