Outnumber your opponent, eliminate time & space, and generate turnovers.


The outnumbered offense (O) begins w/ puck.
• Protect puck from opponents in confined space (1/6 zone for 2v3).
• Once defender/checkers (D) gains possession of puck they must complete two quick passes then pass back to coach.
• Coach then returns puck to offense. Continue 20-25 seconds, then switch.
• Coach spots additional pucks if pucks leave confined areas
• Emphasize attacking offense, engaging quickly to outnumber on the puck, and putting them 'in jail'. Read and react to teammate quickly.

Teaching Keys:
Offense - second player support: get puck into a better position than it was in before, create more time & space, and maintain possession.
Defense - second player support or outnumber: less time & space, opportunities to outnumber on the puck to kill the play, and transitioning from defense to offense
