Set up: roughly tops of circles on both sides, with players from each team divided in half on both sides. In video, half of team black and team red with coach on one circle, the other half of each team lined up with the coach on the other circle.

• Coach 1 spots a puck, 1v1 race and retrieval, winner must add 2nd player in line to make it a 2v1 to the net (quick attack)
• On whistle, those 3 players must tag up by touching boards, and coach 2 spots a puck in their corner to start 1v1 on the opposite side.
• Same process, 1v1 battle, goal is to add another player from the line. The 3 players who tagged up can now join the game on the other side to make it a 3v3 or 4v2 depending on who wins the race to Coach 2's puck
• See video

Key Teaching Points

• body positioning, deception, and turning feet on puck retrievals (player racing for puck 1 in video shows this and puts themselves in a dangerous spot)
• creating a passing lane as the puck carrier
• identifying whether to attack or possess based on 3v3 vs 4v2 outcome
• stick and body positioning on D
• movment off the puck and puck support
