Kai , Great points you have made about transition.

I have used a similar game that you posted. Depending on numbers I usually run it as a 3 on3 . Coaches as the jokers and the pass can be made to any joker for a return pass.'' But the way I run it most players only think of going to the net by themselves and forget the pass.

But I really like the twist that you have shown. That if you win the battle for the puck below the red line you must pass to the D for a regroup. That forces players not to always push forward into pressure , and it teaches them a regroup and getting open and support the puck with speed. Also creating time and space.

Anything over the red line they just attack ?

All four jokers must pass to the team who they receive a pass from ?

Simple, but great option for this drill…

Thanks Kai
