Excellent small ice game that works on quick transition, net-front battle skills and odd-numbered attacks.
Description
1v1 activates 2v2. Coach shoots puck in and goalie plays puck to the corner. One player from each line battle for the puck. The player winning possession passes to a teammate then goes to the net front. The teammate shoots and then joins the play. When the other team gains possession they must first carry the puck below the goal line before passing back to the teammate. Players can pass back to a third teammate who shoots but cannot join the play.
Key Points
- Get to the net to screen the goalie and look for deflections and rebounds.
- Coach can activate the second player if necessary.
- Play 45-60 seconds.
