Description

The short handed team begins with an extra player below their own goal line. Start by having the team on the power play breakout from behind their own net. Play 5v4. When a shot on goal goes wide, the goalie covers the puck or defending team steals the puck, the puck is then played back to the defending team's extra player.

The penalty killers now move back inside their own end to support the puck and become the new powerplay team. The power play guys sprint off and new killers jump into the play with a 5th attacker moving behind his own goal line.

Play continues.

Can play 5v3, 4v3 or even 6v5 to simulate apulled goalie situation.
