'Enjoy the Game'E1 – 3 Shot Change on the Go Shootout

Players should work on selling the fake, change of pace and making the goalie move first. The goalie must time his retreat into the net to keep good angles on shots and cover the goal line on dekes.Description:
Players are in the box and one puck on each blue line for every player.Player from each team leaves the box and tries to score. If they score they race to the box and touch the boards and then the next player can leave.

First team to score with all the pucks wins. It works better to put the pucks on the blue line than in the middle as in the diagram.
To make it realistic the goalie should practice starting from the goal line and coming out.'The Game is the Greatest Coach'

'The Game is the Greatest Coach'
'Enjoy the Game'We only had one goalie at the Polish U16 practice so I modified this one goalie transition game. It was a little confusing for them at the start because no one speaks english and they don't play transition games. Once the coach caught onto to the flow it worked really well.

'Enjoy the Game'This is a good game to use for controlled scrimmage. The defending player must pass to the coach at the point to transition to offense. The coach can stop the play and have the players freeze on the spot so he can point out offensive or defensive positioning or coverage. In a 2 on 2 situation you have all 4 game playing roles. On offense 1-player with the puck 2 – player supporting the puck. On defense you have 3 – player checking the puck carrier 4 – player covering players away from the puck. Because you start each shift with a dump in you also have the 3rd game situation of a loose puck situation.

'The Game is the Greatest Coach'
'Enjoy the Game'This belongs here more than with the other thread. It is the most effective way to kill two short vs a PP with two pointment. It is a reversed triangle with the low D going side to side on the strong side and the two high men up and back on the weak side and up and to the middle on the strong side. It is a simple rotation. Of course if the PP moves to a diamond then you have to rotate the triangle and a low defender on the strong side has to honour the shooter on that side and net coverage goes to the weak side low man.
—————————-T4-PK – 3-5 vs a Spread PP – Pro

The key is to eliminate one timer shots from the point, from the player in the middle and the back door play.Description:
