T2-4 – D400 Specialty Team Practice – Pro
I just posted Mike Babcock's on ice demo of the power play. Now I will show a pro team practicing the power play and penalty kill at each end. The rotation is 10 players at each end with the reds vs. the whites. Start with 5 reds on the pp and 4 whites on the pk. The players at the other end wait with 5 whites ready to attack vs. 4 reds. Start and go for about a minute. The coach spots a new puck when needed or stops the play for coaching tips. After about a minute the other end starts and the original end rotates and now 5 whites are ready to go on the power play vs. 4 reds.
I am going to post videos of 5-4, 4-5, 5-3, 3-5 with captions of coaching points and focus on the power play and pk principles of each.
This rotation can be used for 5-4, 5-3, 4-3, 5-5, 6-5.
You can also have a game where one puck is used and when the puck is frozen, a goal is scored or puck cleared the other end goes while the original end switches roles. I will paste that diagram to this posting.
