IN ZONE 2 V 2
• Spray paint a line to cut the zone in half
• The offensive players (Px) try to score on the defensive players (Po)
• Once the defensive players gain control, they attack the other goalie and new players waiting
on defense (Pz)
• It is a continuous drill as players hustle out of the zone after they have gone on offense and
two new players wait behind the line to play defense
Small Area Games
For Goalies
Here are two small area games that we use in New Jersey. Our head coach John Hynes used these
SAG when he was a coach with the National Team Development Program. I like both of these
drills because they're good for both our goalies as well as for our other players.
NEUTRAL ZONE 2 V 2
• Both coaches have puck and designated teams
• After a goal is scored, the team that was scored on gets a pass from their team's coach
and attacks the other end right away
• Switch players every couple of minutes
