Team Canada U18 recently won gold at the 2024 Hlinka-Gretzky Cup.
CAN went a very respectable 5/13 (39%) on the man advantage while using a shape-shifting scheme that was sometimes a 3-2 spread, sometimes a 2-3 umbrella, sometimes a 1-3-1 and very occasionally a 2-1-2.
Click on the video above to see what CAN’s powerplay looked like, or download those teaching clips to use with your team here.
I’ll be back later this week to discuss broader takeaways from CAN’s 5v4 philosophy and whether its tactics are right for you and your players.
