Read more about the event dedicated to disabled U.S. Military Veterans on page 42. In this activity, two players from each team line up on the blue line. Coaches will start the activity with a wrap around the boards. On the whistle/wrap the first player in each line will leave and can race directly to the puck. The second player in each line must race behind the net that the puck was wrapped around. The game plays out 2-v-2 for 20-30 seconds. After the whistle, the next group sets up and a puck is wrapped behind the other team's net. The keys to this game are puck retrievals, making plays off the wall, center support, puck protection and scanning the ice. The team whose net the puck was dumped behind will have a numbers advantage, and if they are able to take advantage will be rewarded with a lot of breakaways and 2-v-1s.
