Power Play Breakout – Drop Pass
Age: U13+
Type: Special Teams
Duration: 10 min
Players: 5+
A five-player power play breakout using the drop pass. The defenceman retrieves behind the net and carries up the middle, then drops the puck to his partner swinging in behind him with speed. The new carrier attacks the neutral zone and hits the wide winger, who carries in over the blue line. The far winger stretches up the wall, the centre heads to the net front, and the first D follows as the trailer. Run it 5-on-0 until the timing is automatic, then add penalty killers.
