Line change drill -
This one is called Exchange. We use it to meet different goals - how to change, how to defend the redline, long pass breakouts are a few but the guys love it when we just keep score and teh first to ten wins. The game is simple. Players on the bench and two opposing lines line up at center ice. When you gain the red put it deep and change lines. A good change is one point. The teams learn to read opponents dump-ins and how to breakout away from the benches. The goalie and defense learn to communicate etc...

Thanks for all the input. USA Hockey Age Divisions:
Midget - 18 and Under
Midget - 16 and Under
Bantam - 14 and Under
Pee Wee - 12 and Under
Squirt - 10 and Under
Mite - 8 and Under
Some people are starting to use the U18, U16 classifications, others use birth years.....I think it depends on where you live and how old you are here in the US. Our "Midgets" are U18 + U16 combined since we don't have the numbers for separate teams.
Sorry for the confusion Kai!
