3 on 3 Transition Game

- Start with 3 defenders inside the zone and 3 offensive players are ready to go just outside the tops of the face off circles. - There are 3 lines behind the offensive players and it is best to alternate colors if possible. - On the whistle, the coach passes a puck to one of the offensive players to begin the 3 on 3. - The 3 on 3 plays out. The offensive players are trying to score and the defensive players are working to pass the puck to one of the players that is next in line. - When the defensive players are able to pass the puck to one of the players next in line, the defenders rotate out of the ice, the players that were playing offense are now on defense, and the players who got the puck in line, now attack and are on offense. - This is a continuous small area game. If there are goals or the puck goes out of play, the coach can place a new puck into the zone.
