Hi, I've played 5 on 5 ice hockey when I was younger and I've been in a 4 on 4 ball hockey league for a couple of years now.
I'm now in a new league where we play 3 on 3 (4 with the goalie) and...well... we suck. We haven't won a game yet in 10 games and got our ass handed to us several times.
Some of our players have never played organized ockey before so we can't rely on talent alone. When we don't have the puck, we try to cover one guy each, but some other teams have told us that ourstrategy was too passive even if we tried to put a lot of pressure in the puck (ball ?) carrier. When we play 4 on 4, we try tu put a guy between the defensemen to be more aggressive, but I find it hard to do in this new league. We often play with 2 guys in front and one defenseman when we are losing but it leads to a lot of 2 on 1...
Anyone have played 3 on 3 ball hockey before and wants to share their strategies ? We need help !
Edit : I don't know if "The Rink" is only for ice hockey, but most ball hockey players also play ice hockey so I tought this was the right place to ask...
