The Outlet Game is a cross-ice game that can be played 2 v 2 or 3 v 3. Before a team can attack, they must first pass the puck to one of the outlets (the Green X's).

Setup

  • Setup two nets in cross-ice format.
  • Outlet players (the Green X's) can be coaches or players. One can move up and down the goal line and the other can move up and down the blue line.
  • On the whistle, start a 2v2 or 3v3 game. Players must pass to an outlet before they can attack.
  • When the defense gets the puck, they must pass to an outlet before they can attack.
  • Teams can use the outlets as much as they would like.

Coaching Points

  • Offensive team should focusing on quick transitions and give & goes! When you get the puck, pass to your teammate or an outlet and jump to open space to support the puck carrier.
  • Defending team should keep sticks on the ice to block passing lanes and angle players to the outside.

Variations

  • Can be 2v2 or 3v3.
  • The outlets can be coaches or players.
