Power Play Options: Overload to a Diamond
Option One:
Set up at the hash and attack the seam between the D and F.
-If no one plays you skate thru and shoot or pass back door to the F or the D coming down.
-If the D plays you cycle low and keep going for a give and go and if that isn't there become the low option.
-Original low player attack the seam again.
Option Two:
-If the F plays you pass to the point and the low player moves in front to screen.
-If the point player can get to the middle move into a 1-3-1 Diamond and the weak side D skate down to the middle slot between the hash marks.
-In the Diamond we have 4 triangles for one timers, a middle one timer opition.
-If the puck is loose always outnumber the defenders and start the same sequence.
RULES and READS -When you get the puck either you or the puck moves. No standing still.
-If the weak side D comes down to back door the weak side F slide back. Look for defenders staring at the puck and move into the passing seams behind them.
-Create 2 on 1's. -Short passes that only beat one defender. * Progress to a high cycle.

Description:
1. Divide the team into two groups and everyone takes a turn at the power play and penalty kill.
2. In this video the breakout is 3 coming up the ice with one in each lane and a stretch man in at the red line and far blue lines.

Post practice comments:
It didn't run as I had planned because my asst. coach couldn't get to practice. I changed things and gave the players more responsibilty and added a 4-4 and 5-5 scrimmage instead of some drills early. We also did two 1/2 ice power play games once where the defending teams must carry the puck out to the red line and then turn back to go on the power play and the defending team has one F stay in the nzone to create a 4-5 at each end. This gave them a lot of reps on the power play. and was probably a better practice than I had planned. Some really good skill for U18 girl's.
