Age: U13+ Type: System Duration: 12 min Players: 5+

A defensive zone faceoff win turned into a rush. The centre wins the draw back to the left defenceman, who looks for the safe option, often a bank pass behind the net to his partner. The right D moves it up the wall to the right winger, who chips it to the centre. The left winger, lined up on the right side of the circle, attacks the opposing defender if the puck doesn't come clean, then circles back for the breakout pass, button-hooks in the offensive zone and feeds the centre, who finds the right winger for the shot.
