3 on 3 with Bumpers
3 on 3, Games, Ice Hockey Drills

This game is 3 on 3, but really turns into a 3 on 2 down low drill.  In each zone there are two teams of three players. On each team there is a designated "bumper".  The Bumper can come to life when one of their teamates passes them the puck.

This is actually a good game that promotes two things: offensive creativity and defensive zone coverage.  In the diagram, the two teams are represented as Green and Blue.  Players have to stay within their section of the ice defined by the dashed red line.  To start the game, the coach puts a puck in play on either side.  It is a 3 on 3 game where forwards can score from anywhere.

This is a fun 3 on 3 game that works well if you have 9-12 players (not including goalies) .  For younger teams you could make this a 4 on 4 game as well.  It is a typical 3 on 3 game where the teams play until there is a goal.  The team that scores stays in the game and the losing team is replaced by the bumpers that are aligned on the blue line.  The new team is the only team allowed to use the bumpers, therefore giving the new team a distinct advantage over the winning team.

This drill starts as a 1 on 1 down low and progresses into a 3 on 3 down low.  The goal is for the forwards to maintain puck posession until after the third whistle.  Only after the third whistle can the forwards shoot.  On the first whistle the coach dumps the puck into the corner where F1 has the advantage to retreive the puck first.  F1 protects the puck against D1 until the second whistle.
