This depends on the defenseman's ability and the coach's style of play.Some coaches like a defensive style and want their defense to stay back. However, if a team has a defenseman who is a good skater and can handle and pass the puck very well, he generally carries the puck quite a bit and joins the play.Greats like Bobby Orr and Paul Coffey were exceptional puck carriers.
