Use both ends of ice. Defencemen line up on blueline in middle of the ice, forwards wait in neutral zone. On
defenceman goes to front of net to play 1 vs 1's and one forward goes to each corner and at the blueline on eac
boards (4 forwards total). Coach has pucks. Coach passes to whichever Fwd he wants to and that Fwd attacks 0 1 vs
1. On whistle, 0 goes back to the net front and immediately Coach passes a 2nd puck to another Fwd who attacks 1 vs
1. This happens a 3rd time and a 4th time. After the 4th time, Coach passes to next 0 waiting on the blueline who
takes a shot at the net while defending 0 boxes out the 4th Fwd who is trying to deflect the point shot. Now the
defenceman who shot goes to the front of the net for the next series of 1 vs 1. (Forwards go to their spots and next
series starts).
Variations: Coach can make Fwd in corner walk up wall before attacking or he can make Fwd go towards back of net
before attacking. Coach can turn it into a 2 vs 1 by having both 'low players' play a low 2 vs 1 and then both hig
players playing a high 2 vs 1 (or any combination)

SHOWDOWN SKATE

Players in 4 'teams'. One team in each corner. Diagonal corners go. First player in line skates to center ice, picks up
puck and goes in on a breakaway. If he scores, great. If not, he and his team skate to near blue line and back to goal
line. Now opposite 2 corner teams have their first player go - same thing. For each shooter, there is a different penalty
if he misses so it is important for the 'team' to come up with a good shooting order.
1st shooter - miss, and go near blue line back to goal line.
2nd shooter - miss, and go to center ice back to goal line
3rd shooter - miss, and go to far blue line back to goal line
4th shooter - miss, and go to far goal line, back to goal line
5th shooter - miss, and go to far goal line, back to goal line and then to center back to goal line.

THE ELIMINATOR

i.'t
•
•
Players line up on each side of center ice line on the boards. Coach fires puck across ice and first player from each line
jumps out to battle 1 vs 1 - X tries to score on goaltender of Y's team while Y tries to score on goaltender of X team. As
soon as X1 and Y1 have gone, Coach fires a second puck for X2 vs Y2 and then another puck for X3 vs Y3. Play
continues until a goal is scored in the respective 1 vs 1. Scorer gets back in line ... player scored upon is eliminated. As
soon as one goal goes in, Coach fires another puck for the next 2 players
there should always be three 1 vs 1's
gOing on.
Continue until all players from one team are eliminated - other team wins. Another option is to see who is the fina
player standing - if doing this, you can say a player has to lose twice to be eliminated.
RULES - no hitting; keep your head up so you don't collide with another player; cannot shoot on the goaltender unless
he is ready to play you (ie if he is occupied with another 1 vs 1, you cannot score in the empty net.)
