The COMPETE sessions give players an opportunity in small area games and in-tight competitions to showcase their strengths and weaknesses more quickly than a scrimmage style of evaluation. During a game, players can tend to hide or blend in when on the ice with 11 other players. 
 

3 on 3 Half Ice Drill
The Drill:
- Coach has pucks at blue line in centre of ice.
- Three Attackers line up outside blueline; three Defenders are ready inside the zone.
- This a basic 3 on 3 game with the Attackers trying to score while the Defenders need to retrieve the puck and get it out of the zone by either stickhandling it over the blueline or passing it tape to tape over the blueline. Defenders cannot shoot the puck out of the zone.
- Players compete until a goal is scored or 45 secs. has passed.
- A combination of Forwards and Defensemen are mixed on each 3 player team.

What it evaluates:
- Attacker's ability to support, pass and create a scoring chance.
- Defender's ability to keep the puck to the outside of scoring zone and clear the puck without shooting it out of the zone.
- Evaluators will be looking for passes and puck control, player movement, and scoring ability.
