To teach players the concepts of timing, width, and depth in an offensive attack.
Players are in one of four groups near the sideboards at the blue lines.
Four pylons are placed along the blue lines as shown, near each of the face-off dots in the neutral zone between the two blue lines. A group of three players from group one skates toward the goal at the far end of the rink with two players having to stay on the outside of either pylon when approaching the far blue line. The third player skates through the middle of the ice. A tight turn or escape move is then executed, and the puck carrier looks to make a pass. The middle skater goes directly to the front of the net and is the first pass option, while the second player delays by skating parallel to the blue line and then heads for the net.
