6. After each blue has defended once then they are on offense and reds on defense.
7. Add a second defender for 5 on 2.

*This is a great contest for good habits on defense and learning to move with the puck and make quick decisions on the attack.

I play two mornings a week with Bob Murdoch who coached the penalty kill vs. Bob Johnston's power play. They went to the finals that season after upsetting the Oilers. He said the pp would get so frustrated because they had a hard time scoring in this little game. He said the only way they could score is by 'one touch' passing' and that is a great skill to practice.
