'Enjoy the Game'Curtis Brackenbury called to ask me if I had any video on face-off technique. I have made postings about how to practice face-offs but no video. So I went to google and searched. These are some of the best videos I could find on how to take a face-off and win it. In the average game there is at least one face-off a minute. It is the first loose puck situation and quick transition to offense or to defense is critical.

'The Game is the Greatest Coach'
'Enjoy the Game'We did this game yesterday and the players were very creative with their plays from below the goal line. I encouraged them to face up ice when possible and move the puck from side to side and use one timer shots. It is great for defenders to practice keeping their head on a swivel and see their man and the puck as well as the goalie tracking the puck by looking over their shoulder. We played 2 on 2 and the play had to be below the top of the circles. In a 2-2 game you have all three game situations. 0 – loose puck, 1 – offense, 2 – defense. You also have all Four Game Playing Roles. On offense, Role 1 – player with the puck and Role 2 – player supporting the puck. On defense Role 3 – player checking the puck carrier and Role 4 – player covering away from the puck. So it is a great game to practice Transition between Game Situations and Game Playing Roles plus all of the individual skills we have been practicing like skating, puck handling, passing, one timers, puck protection, stick on the puck, stick in the lane.

1. Play game situations from 1-1 to 5-5.
2. Situations 3 on 3 or less the players must keep the puck below the top of the circles.
