T3 - B5 - Forecheck Skills Deflect-Steer-Angle-Finish - RB Pro

Key Points:
Gene Reilly shows the approach to European second league pro’sl. Cut the ice in half with the stick in the passing lane and steer the player outside the dots. Angle toward the back of the inside shoulder so they can't turn back, then finish shoulder to shoulder and stick on the puck.

Description:
1. Offense group behind the net with pucks.
2. Defenders behind blue line in the middle.
3. Both start on the whistle.
4. Defender force the attacker wide angle and finish.
5. Alternate sides.
6. Players switch lines so they all angle.
7. Move the defenders back to the far blue line as the second step in the skill.

Demonstration with second league European pro’s.

D4 - Two Pass Game with only Forehand Passes - U18 F

Key Points:
This game causes a few things to happen. Transition from puck carrier to pass support, checking the puck carrier to covering away from the puck happen very quickly. The puck carrier must use pivoting, escape moves and puck protection skills to pass on the forehand and everyone must face the puck and give a target.

Description:
1. Players must stay inside the blueline and if they puck goes out the other team gets it.
2. Before scoring the offensive team must make at least two passes.
3. When the defenders regain the puck they must make at least two passes before a shot.
4. Make rules with skills for skating, shooting, passing or good habits.

In this game the rule is that you can only pass on the forehand. If a player does a back hand pass the other team gets the puck.

This video is from my hockey skills class of 12-14 year olds. There are 3 ability groups and one goalie. I keep the groups together for games. D5 Formation uses each end for one goal games and the neutral zone for cross ice games. Since I have only one goalie I bring two small nets. The games combine a skill, escape moves, with the two pass rule before scoring and jokers are added and must be passed to before you can score. The jokers can be below the goal line, at the point, in the middle, two of these or all of these. Jokers must pass or shoot but can't skate in and shoot. In this game the jokers check jokers who must make an escape move as well. This adds the habit of skating to open ice with the puck to gain time and space.
--------------------------------------------------------------------

DT5 - Two Pass Regroup with Jokers and Escape Moves - Youth

Key Points:
This transition game requires on ice awareness and constant switching between game playing roles as well as loose puck situations. Escape moves create time and space for the player. The puck carrier must slide backward, sideways, tight turn etc.

Description:
Rules: You must regroup with a Joker to go on offense. Before passing or shooting you must make an escape move. Jokers battle jokers but must stay behind the line. Two passes must be made before scoring. Rotate jokers after every goal or every minute if there are no goals. Play games to three and change where the jokers are after each game. Play a two of three series.

Game One:
Transition to offense requires the player must regroup with the player below the goal line.

Game Two:
To transition to offense the player must regroup with the point.

Game Three:
Joker at the point and below the goal line must get a pass before you can score.

B2 - Defense Individual Skill and Partner Drills – Pro

Jim Playfair is a great coach for the details that defensemen need to be successful at the pro level. In this video there are many offensive skills such as drag and shoot, shot pass, taking the rim off the boards and shooting, hinging with a partner etc.

I sent this video to Sean who coaches my defense and they did many of these drills at our last few practices. Very worthwhile.

D4 - Games of Two Pass with Jokers Behind Net - Youth

This is a skills class with one goalie and 3 definite ability groups. We use one regulation and 3 small nets and in each game there are jokers either behind the goal line, at the point or both. There is a one goal game at each end and a cross ice game in the neutral zone. There are even and odd numbered teams as well. All games require two passes before you can score as well as passes to jokers. This causes the player with the puck and the other players to get open. I give a verbal description of the games.

This is a terrific transition game to get everyone playing all of the offensive and defensive roles. If you have 2 goalies they can rotate in.

This is another great game for a practice with one goalie or to just have everyone practice the hinge and regroup and then compete in all four game playing situations. The players give passive support from the top of the circles as if they were covering the points and like in a real game can take the puck if the attackers go too high.
------------------------------------
DT400 - 2-2 Regroup and RG x 2 Passive Support - U15 B

Key Points:
New players give defenders support from the top of the circles as if they were wingers. If the puck is carried above there they can check them and break out of the zone.

Description:
1. Red 1-2 attack Blue 1-2.
2. Blue 1-2 defend.
3. Pass to Blue 3-4 after a turnover or goal.
4. Blue 3-4 breakout the other direction.
5. Red 1-2 follow the play as defenders
6. Blue 3-4 regroup with Red 3-4.
7. Red 3-4 hinge at least once.
8. Red 3-4 pass to Blue 3-4.
9. Blue 3-4 attack vs Red 1-2.
10. Red 3-4 follow attack to support Red 1-2.
11. Blue 5-6 move to nzone ready to regroup with Red 3-4.

Continue this rotation of support-regroup-hinge-attack-defend.

DT100, 1 - 1 Passive Support D Join Rush and F Backcheck-Juuso, Jursi - IIHF Seminar
https://youtu.be/R2cg-9w-Z8c
------------------------------------------------
This is a video I took of my girl's U18 team doing the game for the first time. It is a good idea to introduce all of these games starting with 1 ib 1 situations and after they learn the flow add players. In this transition game you can designate how many D join the attack and how many F backcheck. A 1-1 of course has both joining.

The 2-2 option is a good way to practice 5-5 when you have 16 to 19 skaters.

It is always a problem to practice team play with only three lines. Most minor hockey is in this situation. This is an option the coach can use as a Transition Game or as a Controlled Scrimmage situation. With less than 3 sets of D there would have to be a pause to wait for the D to get to the other end.
------------------------------------------
T2-4 - D100 - 3 Team PP-PK Scrimmage - U18F

Key Points:
Create team play situations where the offense moves through all 3 zones vs passive or active defensive pressure.

Description:
1. Group one attack vs Group two.
2. Group three wait at the other end or skate saving ice in the neutral zone.
3. Shoot the puck down on a clear - goal - frozen puck.
4. Group three now attack vs Group one while Group two saves in neutral zone.
5. Defending team leaves one player in Nzone to kill 4-5 or two if 2 short. Join next attack.

*The coach may want to use this as a controlled scrimmage situation and stop the play etc.

*Rotate the players killing the penalties.


https://youtu.be/LqdjT_OWiuI
-----------------
I had only one goalie last night and this attack-defend-rest rotation worked very well. We had three sets of 5 in different colours (the green and white reversibles and I had 5 red pinnies) After the puck was cleared down the ice the attacking team skated into the neutral zone ready to defend.

The key points I gave for the pplay were; 'either you or the puck moves and I want a pass or shot every 2". We start our pp by attacking the seam at the hash marks between the F and D. they have three options.
1. Skate between them and shoot or pass to the F on that side or the D coming back door.
2. If the D pressures pass low and head to the net. the low player can score or pass to any of the other 4 players or if those options aren't there then cycle through the seam again.
3. If the F pressures then pass to the point and the D can shoot, go to the middle and set up a high triangle, or pass right back if the pk f denies these options.

I have never done this as a full ice game before and it was very effective for getting everyone to practice the team play situation - especially with only one goalie.
