Reply To: games to encourage getting to the puck

[Tony]

I have found that in many instances the kids sit back because they know they will not get the puck if they are not closest to the puck.

They believe they have a better chance sitting back and intercepting a pass at the younger age groups.

I try to teach them that the chaser causes the errant pass and often is the recipient of a pass from the teammate who intercepts the pass. Just my .02.
