I have posted this game before with my Women's College players and the Swiss U20 World Junior Team. This is a more recent example with U15 Bantam AA boy's. This and other games are templates for the coach to use for skill development. Add rules like only forehand passes, an escape move before passing, goals must be on one timers or one touch shots, goals must come from plays originating from below the goal line, goals must come from give and go plays, two seconds with the puck, one second with the puck, etc..It is a great example of a 'Game that can teach the Game.'

D4 Two Pass – U15 Boy’s

Key Points:

Quick support, get open, give a target, checker on puck, cover away from the puck, box out, take sticks, fight for rebounds. The quicker they make the passes after regaining the puck the more scoring chances they produce. The game is the template and then you can add skill or good habit rules to practice 'How to Play the Game.'

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.
