DESCRIPTION

- Support players are moving, the low support player can play anywhere below the goal line to the middle of the back of the net.
- The high support player can move anywhere in the quadrant/box from the blue line to the top of the circle to the middle point of the ice to the boards (the quadrant/box where they are).
