Continuous 2v1 Rush
Full IceIntermediate2v1TransitionShooting/ScoringBackcheck/D-Zone
Objective: Attack with speed and numbers; defenders work gap control and stick position against a live rush. Setup: Forwards in two lines at center on one wall, defensemen at center on the opposite wall. Goalies in both nets. Execution: Two forwards attack one D toward the far net — D picks up the rush at the blue line. Attackers finish the chance (one shot, one rebound), then curl out. The next pair attacks the other direction immediately; the D who just defended sprints to join as the next rush's defender. Coaching points: Attackers: stay a stick-length apart lanes-wise — make the D choose. Drive the wide lane to the net; the puck carrier attacks the dot line. D: match feet, steer to the wall, stick in the passing lane — never cross your feet in the gap.
