DT400 - 3-3 Pearn - U18 F
Key Points:
Great transition game to practice offensive and defensive 3-3 or any other numerical situation. Defend from the net side; closest on puck carrier, second closest one stick length away, third closest halfway. Defenders indentify who you cover early. Create 2-1’s on offense and fight for the inside position. Attackers pass behind to the other side to spread the defense and create seams. Dump-ins can be added to work on the forecheck and breakout.
Description:
1. Players line up behind the red line.
