Objective: Rapid-fire 2v2 — the instant a play dies, the coach spots the next puck. Three pucks per shift and no time to sulk. Setup: Zone game to one net, goalie live. Coach at the blue line with a pile of pucks. Execution: Play 2v2; the second the puck freezes, leaves the zone, or a goal is scored, the coach spots the next one somewhere new. Three pucks per shift, then both pairs sprint off and the next pairs are already in. Score is cumulative across the shift — every puck matters. Coaching points: The next puck belongs to whoever anticipates it — watch the coach's hand. No celebrating, no complaining — the game already restarted. Defenders: a frozen puck is a WIN — force it dead when you're tired.
