T2-4 – Power Play-Penalty Kill
Sequence – Pro
Key Points:
Develop a power play that fits the skill of each five
player unit. Practice the Diamond 1-3-1 both from the
blue line and below the goal line. Defend from the net
out, stop and start, stick on puck and in the passing
lanes. Swarm when the offense doesn’t have control
along the boards. Weak side forward fall under and
cover the middle attacker. Power play create shooting
lanes, screen, crash for rebounds.

option 5-0.
2. Breakout from the far end vs. penalty killers 5-4.
3. Use controlled breakouts for each group.
4. Penalty killers come off the bench to defend against
the breakout.
5. Power play versus penalty kill.
* Breakout with a double swing and five attack.
* Breakout in the three lanes and two forwards swing
behind for a trailer pass and attack late, these players
attack the static defense and carry in, pass to each
other or the wide players at the blue line.
* Aggressive penalty kill when the puck is loose or the
attackers back is turned.
* Option one is to have the wide players on their
forehand side for one timers.
* Option two is to have a passing PP with right and
left handed shots on the right and left sides.
* Rotate positions and keep moving.
* Defender stay with the puck carrier but do not chase
passes.
* Play a 4-4 on the strong side and deny the cross ice
pass with sticks in the lane.
* Many teams give the goalie the walk out player jam
and cover the other four.
* Power play create confusion with quick puck
movement, switches and back door options,
outnumber the defenders on rebounds.
* A coach can use this sequence to practice from 3-3
to 5-5.
