In this PP small area game, players must transition quickly from offense to defence in a very small area of play.

Description

• Two nets are set up on goal line in front of the face off dots. One point shooter/passer from each team is placed above the circles facing their opposing goalie.
• The Coach starts play by chipping a puck off of the end boards to create a 2v2 battle for the puck.
• Upon recovering the puck, the player moves it quickly up to his point man as other players set up in a small 3v2 power play situation.
• The point man should move laterally to provide pass and shot options from above the circle.

Key Points

• Encourage shooting the puck and crashing the net for rebounds.
• Low players should also work on their screening technique.
• To encourage shooting the puck quickly, the Coach can use a shot clock where the players have to get a shot off within 10-15 seconds or the puck is turned over to the other team.
