3rd in an occasional series of posts about 3 on 3 hockey.
I have previously commented that there is a dearth of material looking at the strategy and play of 3 on 3 hockey. Indeed, that was one of the reasons I began writing this occasional series of posts. Imagine my surprise and joy to read that the American Hockey League is going to change its rules about extra time from next year. Basically, there will be a portion played 3 on 3 (several minutes additional to a lengthened 4 on 4 period, with the teams going to the usual shoot out if there is no score in ET).
I can already imagine some of the league's professional heads considering the peculiarities of 3 on 3 hockey. Eventually, besides an exposure of viewers and players to it, there will leak out published philosophies, strategies, drills and plays. The process will intensify if the change makes it into the NHL.
Or, so I hope.
