This is a great game that allows the players a chance to work on puck protection and awareness.
Set Up
Designate the 1/3 of the players as defenders. For example If you have 9 players then select 3, if you have 12 players then select 4. These defenders will not have a puck. The rest of the players are spread out with pucks within the playing area.
How to Play
Players with the pucks are chased by the defenders. They can go anywhere in the zone and they are trying to maintain possession of their puck. The defenders are roaming the playing area and trying to knock the puck away from the other players. When a player loses their puck they have to exit the game, and the defenders stay on to try to steal the puck from the remaining puck carriers. The coaches need to be judges and let players know when they are out. The last player to maintain possession is the winner of the round.
