6. Play until the puck is carried out, a goal scored or the puck is frozen.
Option: Progress to a half ice transition game where the defenders pass to a new F who skates through the middle circle, dumps the puck in and forecheck vs. D1 and F2.

“U20-Pro-International”
This is a link to practice ideas that higher level teams from elite youth, U20 to North American and International pro teams do at practice. It has been updated with the practice ideas from the last two years.
Over 600 PDF's diagrams and descriptions with video links from this coaching site. A lot of very good ideas.

Drill of the Week Club:
Coaches from all over the world contribute to Enio Sacilotto's club. The link has been on this site for a long time and there are lots of great ideas for practice.
Each coach posts 4 drills or games, recommend a book and give a quotation. I have added this years drills. Over a hundred from coaches of all levels but most are college, European pro, and higher level minor hockey. Great material. These guys are a lot smarter than I am.

T1-3 Low 1-1 and 1-2 – Pro
Key Points:
Fight on offense to gain net side and on defense to defend from the net side. On the breakout vs. a forechecker the first one back must un-weight the checker with a fake and the supporting player must get open for the best outlet pass.
Description:
One End
1. Coach pass the puck to player 1 near the blue line on the boards.
2. Player 2 comes out around the plyon and defends
3. Player 1 try to score while player 2 defends and try to pass to the coach.
4. When the play ends player 1 now defends vs. player 3 who gets a pass from the coach.
Other End
1. Player 1 and 2 break out vs. 3.
2. Coach spots a puck and 3 retrieves it vs. pressure from 1-2.
3. Player 2 support in a board battle or get open for an outlet pass.

C5 - Defensive 1-1 x 6 – Jasper Skating and Hockey Camp
Efficient Use of the Ice - Multiple Nets
Key Points:
This organization works very well when you have large groups on the ice or a big difference in ability. The key is the players practice the skill and don’t have to wait in line a long time. Give instruction, move from group to group progress to games without the players having to switch stations. I have used this multi net in camps around the world with either no goalies, lots of goalies or a combination of big and little nets.
Description:
1. Put 2 to 4 nets on each goal line or you could have them along the boards practicing across the ice.
2. Players line up just inside the blue line or for older players outside the blue line.
3. One player defends while the first player in line skates around the other player and attacks 1-1.
4. When the play is over the original attacker skates out and defends vs. the second player in line.
5. When the play is finished the defender passes to the first player in line and skates out to close the gap.
6. Add an attacker and play 2-1 or 2-2.
* You could have net at each red line to make 8 stations.
