3 Cone 2v1

PURPOSE

Simple 1-2 breakout pass, quick re-group, and 2v1 gap control.

HOW TO

• Player 1 carries puck from the corner to the opposite corner while players 2 & 3 go low for the break out.
• Player 2 goes butt to the boards and receives the breakout pass from 1. Player 3 loops outside to in and receives a tip pass from player 2.
• Player 3 carries the puck up ice and around the inside high cone. Player 2 goes around the outside high cone. Player 1 transitions around the bottom cone.
• All three players go 2v1 into zone.

FOCUS

• This should be a no-brainer breakout pass, so make sure players are in the right spot, getting good timing so that no one is standing still, and are in a good passing angle.
• Defensively, they need a good gap control forcing the shot but if they have ability to step up and prevent a shot altogether they take it.
• Tendency is to have D play the 1 position, but it is beneficial to all players to learn how to break out in the event lines get shuffled, or someone gets caught out of position, then everyone knows how to break out.
