'Enjoy the Game'T4 Back Pressure
Back pressure allows the D to really play a tight gap on the attacker and stand up on him if you have an angle. The forward coming back can pick up the loose puck or a chip behind. Also if the attacker delays he is skating into the back pressure.
Some teams only back pressure thru the nzone and then peel off. I think it is best to create the defensive 2-1 and only peel off if you are out numbered. Creating offensive and defensive 2-1's is the key to the game.
Key Points:
D1 play a good gap and F1 pursue from behind. If it is an odd number situation where another attacker is not covered then F1 and D1 communicate and F1 pick him up.Description:
1. D1 play a 1-1 with the puck carrier from the D side.2. D2 play the second attacker in the middle or wide lane.
3. F1 pursue the puck carrier from the inside if possible.
4. F2 come back to cover the trailer.
5. F3 come back to the mid slot.
After the attack F1 stay in the zone and play the low 3-3.

'Enjoy the Game'D200 Cross Ice Games with Jokers
Key Points:
Jokers can only pass or shoot and cannot join the attack. Defenders don't check the jokers but cover the pass receivers. To make it more gamelike the jokers must move when they get the puck instead of just standing there.Description:
Play cross ice with the extra players lines up on the sides.Game One
Jokers behind the offensive net must be passed to before shooting. Great for give and go as well as one timer practice.Game Two
When the defending team gets the puck they must regroup with the jokers behind their net. Use one or two jokers and practice the breakout. Jokers may pass to each other.Game Three
Jokers on the side can be passed to and must return the pass or shoot. This is great for puck support as well as the defenders covering pass receivers.https://www.hockeycoachingabcs.com/videos/watch/d200-two-cross-ice-games-with-jokers/

'Enjoy the Game'B Anaerobic Skills Practice
You can do this using a few activities at a time as a circuit or do one activity at a time with a small group.

Players skate hard in all activities. Quick feet, no gliding.Description:
Small Group Anaerobic Skills Practice1. Skate with the puck avoiding pucks and making many direction changes. Finish with a shot after doing each circle. 5" between whistles.
2. Play a 1-1 cross ice tournament of 45" games. Lines on the boards are the goals.
3. Exchange pucks, passing, making moves, touch knees, 1 puck, 2 pucks, pivot, etc.
4. The iron cross. Forward-stop, left-stop, forward–stop, right-stop, back and take a shot.
5. Skate around the circle passing 3 times each way then shoot.
6. This is a practice I ran the other night with a small group. I don't have room on the diagram but we had 5 skaters and finished with a game of 2 on 2 in one zone and the extra player was a joker. When you regained the puck you have to regroup with the joker before scoring. Players rotate as the joker for a rest.
