Breakout Race

A high-intensity breakout race: two teams race to complete a patterned breakout and get the puck to the coach on the red dot first.

Setup:

• Pucks on the goal line, on both sides.

• Three players per team lined up on the blue line: D in the middle, forward on the boards, centre swooping low.

Execution:

• The first pass goes to the forward on the boards.

• The second pass goes to the centre, who passes to the coach on the red dot.

• The first team to get the puck to the coach becomes the offence and immediately attacks in the opposite zone.

• The other team becomes the defence/backcheckers and tries to clear the puck past the blue line.
