Summary

USA Hockey ADM Regional Manager Scott Paluch shares a small area game with an emphasis on angling from his time as the head coach of the U.S. team for the 2020 Youth Olympics in Switzerland.

DESCRIPTION

• One team starts with possession. They must carry the puck behind their own net before attacking. 
• The defending team must use proper angling to apply pressure on the forecheck and create a turnover.
• Play out a live 2 vs 2 for 20-25 seconds before starting the next group.
• After 3-4 minutes, switch sides so both teams start on offense and defense.

KEY POINTS:

• Close space quickly
• Good stick position
• Attack inside out
