DESCRIPTION

• X1/ X2 vs O1/O2 are playing 2 v 2
• On change of possession, players must pass to the high or low support player on their team.
• For example, X team has possession and O team gains possession, they must pass to O3 (high) or O4 (low).
• Once they have made a pass to the high or low support player, the support players can pass, shoot and/or pass to each other as well.
• Support players can be used at anytime, but they have to be used on a change of possession.
• Support players can be pressured.
• Players rotate from out (rest) to support players, to "in" playing, to out (rest).

KEY POINTS:

• Support players are NOT stationary
• Support players are moving, the low support player can play anywhere below the goal line to the middle of the back of the net.
• The high support player can move anywhere in the quadrant/box from the blue line to the top of the circle to the middle point of the ice to the boards (the quadrant/box where they are).
• Encourage the players to move to support the puck, and create passing lanes or shooting lanes.
• Emphasis on decision making, puck movement, puck support, puck possession, and creating scoring opportunities.
