Offense
Bananas
ballsaBananas is a play that can be run anywhere, but is often used in the endzone or in a high stall count. It depends on the handler making an inside throw, and then utilizes that breakside space. It does not fare well against bracketing or zone coverage, but against man it is good.
Offense

Puckside dman- Create a triangle between two "off" forwards maintaining spacing and not allowing a quick pass through.
