Description

Players position themselves on the perimeters of the face-off circles with one player (the "monkey in the middle") occupying the center of the circle. The perimeter players quickly pass the puck around trying to keep it away from the "monkey". When the "monkey" intercepts a pass, then the former "monkey" and the player who made the pass switch roles.
