Todd – Just out of curiosity, what age group are you talking about? If it's the younger groups, my challenge with the Squirts was to get the other players involved in the flow. If our young version of Bobby Orr was clearly going for goal, we would play 2nd touch ( i.e. rebounds) with one F and also have one of the other F's cover for that rushing D-Man. Looking back, iIt was not unusual to have one kid who could take the puck from one end to the other without great effort. The key was to make him head man the puck and join the rush in support. As you already know, the other guys are not going to improve if they are merely spectators.
