A very good pre-game skate small area game to use as a warm-up/energizer.

This is a great small area game to use early in your practice as a warm-up/energizer. A very good pre-game skate game as a coach can keep the 2v2 play short.

Description

Teams line up on both blue lines alternating the two colours of jerseys. 4 players set up close to the Center ice face-off dot. Coach stars play by chipping a puck into the middle of the four players. Teams defend one goal and attack the other. Players may use the players on the blue line as a passing option. Play continues until a goal is scored or the Coach whistles for a change of players. On change, players move out to one end of the blue line and new players move in from the other end.

Key Points

• Use the support players to avoid checkers then work to get open.
• If puck goes out of the playing area, Coach throws in a new puck.
