Description

This is a 3 on 3 cross ice game where players can take advantage of a "Gretzky" behind the opponents net. The "Gretzky" has to stay behind the goal line and makes passes to players on their team from behind the net.

On a change of possession players have to make 1 pass to their "Gretzky" before attempting to score.
Player can go below the goal line to challenge the other team's "Gretzky" and attempt to steal the puck.
Players can go below the goal line to support their own "Gretzky".
There is no limit to how many times players can use their "Gretzky".
On the whistle players leave the puck and skate hard out of the zone and new players enter the game.
Let each shift run about 30 - 40 seconds to keep the game fast paced and high intensity.
