This is a terrific transition game to get everyone playing all of the offensive and defensive roles. If you have 2 goalies they can rotate in.

DT400 – Continuous Game with Back Pressure – U18 F
Key Points:
Allow the attackers to cross the blue line before leaving to back pressure.
Sequence is: Back pressure-breakout-turn back at blue line and attack-defend-rest.
Description:
1. Players line up behind the blue lines on each side.
2. Offensive 1 and 2 attack vs defenders 1 and 2.
3. Defenders 3 and 4 leave and the puck side player back pressure the puck carrier.
4. Offensive 1 and 2 must attack quickly to get a scoring chance before they are outnumbered.
5. After a goal, frozen puck or breakout pass 3 and 4 skate to the far blue line and turn to attack the original offensive 1 and 2.
6. Two players leave to support the defending team.
7. Continue this flow.
* The coach can create different situations by sending from 1 to 3 new players to follow the play into the zone and back pressure. You can also add dump ins and regroups.
