Run. Alot. And find a buddy who can help you out with defense.

I play middie and am former attackmanHowever, from my experience it sounds lHere's a tip for D, cause the increased role on defense can prove to be tricky for some kids(including myself). You wanna make sure that you don't go for too many big plays, so Rather than trying to put a big body check on him(thus putting you into a position where he can easily dodge you), try getting into a good defensive stance him, placing small checks on his thighs and stick to constantly remind him that he's under pressure. This should force him to the outside, putting him in a position where he can't make a scoring opportunity for himself(unless he wants to try a really far outside shot with little time). Chances are he'll try and pass(which will cause an end to the transition play ya'll were playing) to a teammate on the wing(which is where your longpoles will come in and try and make a play. If he hesitates in making this pass, then is the time that you should go for a big stick or body check, as he has no options left and we'll likely have to try and beat u in a circumstance where you have the advantage.
