Scoreboard idea inspired from Coach David Baird's scoreboard soccer. Choose 2-4 small area half ice games. Can use all 3 zones depending on numbers. Split teams and play. Add music for extra fun. Rotate teams every few minutes or play tourney style. Goal scorers must leave the game to complete a task. Here they move a puck from one circle to another. This leaves an odd man situation for a short time. Encourage your players to take advantage of the situation. The returning player becomes a backchecker. Coaches should reinforce backchecking to the "most dangerous person". Coaches may also incentivize other good habits by sending kids to the scoreboard for good things other than just goals.
constraints/affordances to use to incentivize good habits and allow players to see new options. Learning sticks when players are able to explore and solve problems in a play environment.

Tic tac toe- Draw a grid on the ice, players can use pucks/cones/marker to make x's and o's
Sauce contest- Sauce a puck over an obstacle and hit a small target for a bonus goal.
Shooting contest-First team to hit all 4-5 targets wins.
