"Three Pile Shared Showdown", takes breakaways and attacks to a whole new level. On the whistle, the first player on each team draws a puck from Pile#1 and attacks the opposition goaltender. If they miss, they go to the end of the line. If they score they continue and draw from Pile#2. If a player misses, the team drops a level, and the next player in line goes to the the lower level pile. For example, if a player misses after drawing from pile#3, the next player on the team draws from Pile#2. The goal is for the team to reach pile #3 and score. After a team wins, have teams change sides.
