The left wing lock is a defensive ice hockey strategy similar to the neutral zone trap. In the most basic form, once puck possession changes, the left wing moves back in line with the defencemen . Each defender (including the left winger) plays a zone defence and is responsible for a third of the ice each. [ 1 ]
The most recognizable implementation of the trap sees the defense stationing four of their players in the neutral zone and one forechecker in the offensive zone. As the offensive team starts to move up the ice, the forechecker (generally the 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.
When playing the trap, the centre typically spearheads the defence by placing himself/herself in the middle of the ice between the red line and blue line in defensive position. This forces the puck carrier to either side board where the centre and puck side winger close him in, "trapping" him/her between the two defending players and the boards.

In ice hockey, three forwards – centre, right wing and left wing – operate as a unit called a line. The tradition of naming the lines extends back to the inaugural 1917–18 NHL season, when Didier Pitre, Jack Laviolette, and Newsy Lalonde of the Montreal Canadiens were dubbed the "Flying Frenchmen Line".

Patrice Bergeron won the Frank J. Selke Trophy as the NHL's best defensive forward a record six times, and was a finalist every year from 2012 to 2023. In ice hockey, a two-way forward is a forward who handles the defensive aspects of the game as well as the offensive aspects.
Progressive pundit Trump critic Cenk Uygur admitted he feels more "optimistic" after President-elect Donald Trump's victory earlier this month.
These two forwards are positioned on the ice so as to break up passes, grab loose pucks, and assist along the side boards. The two defensemen are passively positioned along the blue line waiting for the puck to come to them. If their teammates recover the puck or if the forecheck fails, they will take a more active role.
