6. Team who was on offense now skate to the blue line and defend.I used this drill and game with NCAA players in the summer. I will get a video of the drill and game when I have my team this year. Putting a scoring time limit on drills or game situations creates an urgency. Have lines compete against each other.

'Enjoy the Game'Observing Players Develop Youth to Pro – 4-4
D100 Pro 4-4 Tournament
I posted this as a demonstration of how the top level players keatb good habits and great technique when they are young. They move the puck to the open man, support the puck and get open, have sticks on the puck and in the passing lanes. They usually bury the puck if they have a good chance. Notice how they face the play with the puck by pivoting and turning so they can see everyone. They move to open ice and really protect the puck with their body.
Lots of other good things. If you go to the videos of the 85ers doing a DT100 transition game you can see the player in blue with the white pad on his back. He still skates the same bent over way and does that Gretzky quick turn to gain ice for himself. I coached them when he was 12-13 for two springs. 40 practices 90 minutes each for ten weeks for two years and we went into two tournaments a year. So I coached them 80 practices or 120 hours. Five of the 9 F were still playing pro last year.
They work out every week day with this format to get ready for the season.
– skate around handling the puck.
– some passing, shooting drills run by a coach.
– play a 4-4 full ice tournament and keep score.
– play 3-3 cross ice and keep score.
– do about 10 minutes of skating.https://www.hockeycoachingabcs.com/videos/watch/d100-pro-4-4-tournament/
Same player when he was 12. He had a good career in the NHL and played for Canada in the 2018 Olympics. Another small player won the Hobey Baker. He only grew to 5* 6" and had a great career in Europe another drafted in second round and played in the NHL, coached in Sweden and was an NHL head coach and now HC in AHL. Everyone on the team played at least Jr. A. Lots played major junior or NCAA Div. 1 and many played in the minors. They turn 36 this year. A few are still playing in Europe.. The best player was second overall in Bantam draft and quit hockey at 18. They were skilled enough at 12 to do any drill or game that the pro's in the video above can do. Just not as fast.

'The Game is the Greatest Coach'
'Enjoy the Game'This is a great game to practice any team play situation. I learned it from Gene Reilly who has coached a lot of college, AHL and European pro hockey.
———————-T2-4, D4 – Reilly Team Play Rotation
Key Points:
Practice team play situations at each end. Even or odd man. Leave players in the neutral zone for pp and pk. Situations.
Description:
1. For spectialty teams start with 5-5 at each end with one defensive player in the neutral zone making it a 5-4. You can use any number 3-3 to 6-5.
2. Start green on pp vs. white on pk at one end. On a goal, frozen puck or shot down the ice the green get ready to pk and the white the pp.
3. The other end starts with the white on the offense first.*The play rotates from end to end.
We used this rotation when working with university, college or pro teams because there are usually at least 8 D and 12 F. In Canada the minor hockey roster is 17 skaters so this only works with smaller numbers. Another option is to use the same game but when the puck is shot down the other group play 4-3 or else 5 offensive players practice the pp for one minute 5-2 and then shoot the puck down.
College men's team.

'Enjoy the Game'Mike is presenting on ice in Vienna. The players are Austrian so there is a language barrier even though they take english in school. The video also has him teaching pk swarming but I will do another posting on only that. Now pro teams swarm if the offensive team is in a weak attacking position facing the glass battling for a puck. The defenders will outnumber them.

'Enjoy the Game'T2-4 – D400 Specialty Team Practice – Pro
I just posted Mike Babcock's on ice demo of the power play. Now I will show a pro team practicing the power play and penalty kill at each end. The rotation is 10 players at each end with the reds vs. the whites. Start with 5 reds on the pp and 4 whites on the pk. The players at the other end wait with 5 whites ready to attack vs. 4 reds. Start and go for about a minute. The coach spots a new puck when needed or stops the play for coaching tips. After about a minute the other end starts and the original end rotates and now 5 whites are ready to go on the power play vs. 4 reds.
I am going to post videos of 5-4, 4-5, 5-3, 3-5 with captions of coaching points and focus on the power play and pk principles of each.
This rotation can be used for 5-4, 5-3, 4-3, 5-5, 6-5.
You can also have a game where one puck is used and when the puck is frozen, a goal is scored or puck cleared the other end goes while the original end switches roles. I will paste that diagram to this posting.
—————————-
T2 D400 – Power Play 5-4 – ProStart with an overload and rotate into a 1-3-1 Diamond.

Description:

2. Coach spot a new puck when the original is out of play.
3. Closest defender check the puck carrier. Pressure when they see numbers or poor control and stay with player when they skate with the puck. Contain is there is complete control in the triple threat position.
4. Skate in straight lines from the net out.
5. Priority is to deny shots from the point and the slot.
6. On passes from mid-point to a player at the side the middle checker can contain or surf to the player on the flank denying the pass back to the point with the stick. Pressure all the way down to the goal line.
7. If the puck is passed back to the mid point and too far to get into the shooting lane then rotate with the player at the top of the triangle.
7. Overload the strong side and give them the player who is two passes away but deny the cross ice pass with sticks in the passing lane.* Defending the rush the diamond should be F1 up ice, D1 middle back, D2 parallel with F2 on the sides.
This is th way to kill before teams adopted the 1-3.
