Attack Triangle Triumph

"Attack Triangle Triumph", teaches players triangulation and the importance of width and depth in attack. On the whistle, three players begin from each side. The players race around the center circle and one of the players must pick up the puck spotted by the coach. Players must stay onside as they attack the end. The puck carrier will wide drive, the second player will net drive and the third player will support high which provides the puck carrier with two pass options versus one. After the attack and shot on goal the whistle is blown to begin the next six players.


Teaching Points

Zone Entries: Stay on-side on the attack. The wide drive, net drive and high support creates width and depth in the attack which is difficult to defend and forces the defenders to make choices. Communication is critical and will determine who picks up the puck in the neutral zone and also determine which skater will assume which role on the rush.
