This cross ice small area game allows the coach to decide how many players from each team will play in each round.

Setup

Place two nets (mini nets if no goalies) facing each other like you would in regular 3 vs 3 cross ice. The coach has the pucks in the middle of the ice at the edge of the zone (blue line). The players are split into two teams on each side of the coach. La

How to play

The coach starts each round by calling out a number for each team and dumping a puck into the zone. That number of players from each team will jump into the game. The teams play until a goal is scored or the coach blows the second whistle. Then the coach will call out new numbers for each team and a new round begins.
