https://vimeo.com/463260305/57130aed87

The 3 Regroup 3 vs. 2 Drill from Topher Scott is an excellent drill that helps a team practice their passing, timing and regroups by regrouping 3 times before the drill finishes with a 3 vs. 2

Setup

On the whistle, the forwards pass the puck to the Defensemen in Zone # 1.
They regroup and swing up ice and receive a pass back from the Defensemen in Zone # 1.
The forwards then pass to the Defensemen in Zone # 2 and swing to begin a second regroup.
The forwards get a puck back from the Defensemen in Zone # 2 and begin a 3rd regroup with the Defensemen in Zone # 1.
The forwards get the puck back from the Defensemen in Zone # 1 and begin a 3 vs. 2 against the Defensemen in Zone # 2.
Keep score if you have two colored teams!

Coaching Points

Forwards should be mindful of timing and not getting to far ahead of the play.
Forwards should communicate and watch each other so they can fill open lanes and spread out.
The defense should have their head up and look up ice as they are getting ready to move the puck.
