Purpose:    Develop timing and strong passing/receiving skills to make a quick flow attacks on net

Directions:   Skaters are in 3 lines below the goal line, pucks start in the middle line. Skater 1 passes to Skater 2 wide then follows his pass to Skater 2's lane. Skater 3 skates forward to the blue line for puck support. Skater 2 cuts to the middle and passes to Skater 3. Skater 3 receives and passes the puck wide to Skater 1 and skates to the middle lane as Skater 2 continues to Skater 3's wide lane. Skaters continue to zig zag to the offensive zone and set up a triangle attack on goal.
