The 2-1-2 Forecheck is one of the most common forechecking methods used. The idea is to always pressure the puck with two players until possession is gained. The third player needs to remain in the high slot for two reasons: 1) It is harder for opponents defense to cover the high slot area. 2) If the opponents gain possession of the puck and break out, then the player in the high slot is in good position to help the defense and prevent an odd-man rush.
