Finding the puck through traffic, recovery, rebounds, covering the puck

How it works

Scatter puck, except the pucks aren't scattered. One goalie in the net starts in the butterfly facing the goal. At least 2 goalies (the trees) pick spots in the zone to stand. The coach goes behind one of the goalies and taps his stick. The goalie in net recovers and turns around to find the puck. The coach shoots, and both trees and the coach go for the rebound until it's scored or covered.

Steps

  1. Start in the butterfly facing the goal. The trees pick their spots.
  2. The coach goes behind a tree and taps his stick.
  3. Recover and turn around to find the puck.
  4. The coach shoots: the trees and the coach go for the rebound until it's scored or covered.
