DT400 Attack-Defend-Breakout-Rest – U.S. College Players
Key Points:
The defenders have to clear the zone with control of the puck. With situations over a 3 on 3 I would move the resting players back to the far blue line. Left handed player in black sweats and hat is Dany Heatley just after he won NHL Rookie of the Year.Description:
1. Players line up within a stick length of the red line if you have 2 groups or only ½ ice; otherwise behind the red or far blue line.
2. Three players attack three defenders.
3. Defenders must carry the puck out of the zone before passing to team waiting team mates.
4. Three new players attack vs the original offensive players.
5. Keep score, implement skill (only forehand passes) or team play rules (goals originate from below the goal line).http://hockeycoachingabcs.com/mediagallery/media.php?f=0&sort=0&s=20080719141209937

'The Game is the Greatest Coach'
'Enjoy the Game'DT100 Continuous 2 on 2 to 4 on 4 – U18 M-F

2. Start with a 2 on 2 attack F1 and F2 vs D1 and D2.
3. When the puck enters the zone defensive F1 and F2 support D and attacking team D1 and D2 support F's.
4. Play 4 on 4 in the zone.
5. If the puck is dumped out with no possession the offensive team regroup and attack again.
6. The supporting players who joined the play now go 2 on 2 in the other direction.
7. F2 – F3 support D1 and D2 and D3 and D4 support attacking F1 and F2.DT100 2-2 to 4-4 – No Positions – U18 F

'Enjoy the Game'DT 400 Game of Quick Transition with Attack-Defend-Rest Rotation – Mike Johnston
Key Points:
Mike Johnston demonstrates a quick 3 on 3 transition game. It is similar to the Perry Pearn game but the emphasis is on quick transition and the offside rule and gaining the blue line first isn't stressed. This rotation can be used from 1-1, 1-2, 2-2. 3-2, 2-3 3-3, 4-3, 3-4, 4o-5, 5-4, 5-5, 6-5 to practice team play, especially if you have 15 or less skaters.Mike explains the benefits of using transition games and suggests that only two colours be used at practice to enable more game like drills and games. Put half the D and half the F in one colour each. You can have more than two groups per team.
Description:
1. Players line up behind the red line with the defending team at the front of the line. Use two colours, i.e. white and blue.
2. Three whites attack vs. Three blue defenders.
3. After a goal, a puck frozen by the goalie or the defense gains possession pass to blue team mates at the red line.
4. Original white attackers defend vs the three new blue players and the original three blue defenders rest at the back of the line.*This is a great rotation to practice team play.
The coach can change where the resting players line up and use the same rotation. The closer they are the quicker the transition, i.e. line up at the top of the circles. If the coach wants neutral zone play then move the line up back to the other end of the ice or behind the far blue line. Waiting at the red line allows the original attackers time to close the gap when they go onto defense.
It all depends on what the coach is trying to accomplish in this transition game rotation.DT400 – 2-2 Game of Quick Transition – U15 G
