In this diagram, the red team is executing a neutral zone trap resulting in the blue team dumping the puck in. The neutral zone trap (often referred to as simply the trap) is a defensive strategy used in ice hockey to prevent an opposing team from proceeding through the neutral zone (the area between the blue lines) and to force turnovers.
