It's possible for a team to play great possession hockey without really making any actual progress in the attack - often choosing the easy pass - going sideways or backward.
Good attacking play requires vision and heads up hockey - your players need to know who's ahead of them so that they can play a clever and cutting through pass up the field.
To transform all this possession into attacking opportunities you will need to encourage your players to make leading runs into space, look up to spot these runs and make the pass to cut through the opposition's defence.
