Add-One 2v2 Forever

Full IceIntermediate2v2Small-Area GamesTransitionConditioning
Objective: Continuous 2v2 where every change of possession adds a fresh attacker — the game never stops and the numbers never stay even. Setup: Two nets, two goalies. 2v2 in play; both teams stage extra players on their wall at center ice. Execution: Play 2v2; on a goal, save-and-freeze, or clean steal, the team gaining the puck outlets to ONE new teammate stepping on from the wall. That creates a 3v2 the other way; the two original attackers backcheck. The player who has been on longest exits after each rush — the game stays 2v2/3v2 forever. Coaching points: The new man enters with SPEED — he's the odd man, use him immediately. Backcheckers: take the middle lane away first, the puck second. Communicate the exit — 'off!' — so the count never gets confused.
