3v3 with Bumper Outlets
Cross-Ice / Small AreaO-ZoneIntermediate3v3Small-Area GamesPassing
Objective: 3v3 in the zone with bumper outlets — escape pressure the way good teams do: use the extra man. Setup: 3v3 below the tops of the circles; two neutral 'bumpers' stationed at the blue line who play one-touch for whichever team has the puck. Execution: Normal 3v3 game; the team WITH the puck may use either bumper at any time. Bumpers are one-touch only and can't be checked. Goals off a bumper touch count double — reward using the outlet. Coaching points: Under pressure, the bumper IS the play — don't force through a body. After using the bumper, GO — the return pass leads to open ice. Bumpers: catch and move it; never hold.
