Paul it is critical that they play with good habits.
-always face the puck.
-closest player pressure the puck with a good forechecking angle and the stick on the puck and body on body.
-read when they are on defense and backcheck hard through the middle lane.
-get on the defensive side.

Attack with 4 players on the rush and get a shot and crash the net for rebounds.
-cycle with 3 players on each side.
-create 2 on 1's all over the ice.

Pressure, pressure, pressure.

Use all the players and have short shifts with high intensity.

If your team dictates the pace of the game they will do fine.
