Coach’s Call Using one third of the ice, the coach places two nets near the boards as shown. The players can play 3-on-3, 4-on-4 or even 5-on-5. The coach calls out the signals and the rules of the game as they change. For example: the coach will declare that only backhand passes and backhand shots are allowed. After awhile, the coach can declare only flip passes and wrist shots. The next time he might declare only backward skating. Be creative and challenge your players.
