Editing Neutral zone trap (section)

== Description ==
The most recognizable implementation of the trap sees the defense stationing four of their players in the neutral zone and one [[forecheck|forechecker]] in the offensive zone. As the offensive team starts to move up the ice, the forechecker (generally the [[Center (ice hockey)|center]]) will cut off passing lanes to other offensive players by staying in the middle of the ice, forcing the puck carrier to either sideboard. The defensive [[Winger (hockey)|wingers]]—typically placed on or near the [[Hockey rink|red line]]—will be positioned by the boards to challenge the puck carrier, prevent passing, or even keep opponents from moving through. The two [[Defenseman (ice hockey)|defencemen]] who are positioned on or near the blue lines are the last defence, and must stall the opposition long enough for the wingers to reset themselves and continue the trap.
