Brian Gillam, Coach Development Coordinator for Hockey Eastern Ontario, has a 3 on 2 small area game for any team to work on power play concepts and principles. 

Description:

• Nets just inside each zone.
• Each team has 3 players on offence and 2 on defence on each side.
• Players can't cross the blue line.
• Progression 1: coach passes to quarterback in neutral zone to trigger 3 on 2.
• Coach passes to other side.
• Progression 2: coach spots 2 pucks to either side, first team to score wins.
• Progression 3: coach spots puck to either side - if the defenders gain possession they can pass to their teammates on the other side of the red line.

Key Teaching Points:

• Attacking: quick attack, quick shots, quick puck movement.
• Defending: active sticks, be aware of danger behind your back.
