The extra-man offense is an attacking method or formation used when the offensive teams have the extra-man position. Teams can practice and force different offensive drills and offensive plays to attack the defense, and score more shots. The defense teams often position themselves in the crease zone and within the bounds to prevent the offense is attempting to shoot at the goal. The defense will not mark the individual players from the offense. In addition, the extra-men offense tactic is a good practice to create a two-on-one scoring position to score the defense zone to fall out of their positions or stretch.
