Purpose

Players utilize the skills they’ve learned in individual drills in a competitive 5-on-5 game.

Setup

Players play 5 on 5 at both ends of the hockey rink.

How it Works

  • Coach blows his whistle.

  • Teams play 5 on 5 in each zone against the same goalie.

  • When a team gains possession of the puck, they must complete two passes before shooting.

  • Play a five-minute game and then rotate the teams and play again.

Coaching Tips

  • Have a coach stand outside each zone with extra pucks. If a puck goes over the blue line or out of the zone, throw a new one in to keep the game moving.
