• There will be 3 lines of forwards. F1 and F2 lines in the same corner, with the F3 line in the opposite corner at the other end and pucks in both corners. 
• Defenceman will be in the neutral zone along the wall on the same side of the ice as the F1 and F2 lines. 
• D1 will start just inside the zone and on a whistle F1 or F2 will start with a puck. 
• They will carry it up ice 2on1 exchanging passes with each other. 
• After a shot is taken, D1 will stop in front of the net and F1 and F2 will look to turn back up ice towards F3 in the corner. 
• As the shot is happening, F3 in the corner with a puck will begin to leave. 
• D2 and D3 will skate across the ice to prepare for F1, F2, and F3 coming back 3on2. 
• D1 that stopped in front of the net will then turn into a back-checker and chase down the 3on2. 
• After a shot is taken, coach will blow a whistle a new group will go.

• F3 needs to time when he leaves so he is not so far ahead of the play causing F1 and F2 to play catch-up
• Remind the defenceman about their gaps and taking away passing lanes with an active stick
• Forwards should look to make passes in the neutral zone rather then having 1 player carry the puck the whole way, encourage puck movement
