3 on 2 Jailbreak

By: Alex Tanguay

The 3 on 2 Jailbreak from Alex Tanguay helps players practice puck support and give & go's by being able to use their support player in the corner of their offensive end.

Setup

• Setup a cross-ice game with two nets and two goalies.
• 2 v 2 in the zone and each team has a support player that is in the corner of the zone.
• Coach and extra players on the blue line.
• To start the game, coach dumps the puck in the zone anywhere that they would like. Both teams play 2 v 2 and are allowed to use their support players whenever they want.
• Coaches should keep score and make sure to rotate the support players!

Coaching Points

• Offensive players practice puck support and give & go's.
• Defensive team keep sticks on the ice to block passing lanes and work to keep players to the outside of the ice.

Variations

• Can place the support players in different areas (in the corners, the blue line, or behind the net like Gretzky 2 v 2).
• Can give the support areas big or small areas to move.
