¶ Description
The 3-3 consists of three forwards and three backs.
Each position has a specific job, and the details will vary between teams, but the general roles are described here:
Forwards: The three forwards are assigned left, center, and right sides. If the play is centered on the right side of the playing area, the center and right forwards are focused on dropping together ahead of the puck, trying to receive passes from the backs. These two forwards should drop together in order to support each others forward drives. Defensively, forwards come back towards the play, still in front of the puck, and interfere with the opponents. They can do this by back picking the opponents or blocking passing lanes. The left forward, if the play is still on the right side of the playing area, should set up a bit further from the wall to receive passes that come off the wall, or to support the left back if they swing the puck around to the left side. Once on the left side, the left forward and center forward drop together on the wall, and the right forward drops a bit off the wall.
Backs: The three backs are left, right and center backs. If the play is in the right side of the playing area, the right back and the center back cycle behind each other so that one of them is down at a time, and as often as possible. The left back stays further back, either ready for a deep swing from the other backs or to come to the right side and fill in for the other two backs. If the left wing comes in on the right, the center back will cycle back and cover until the left wing cycles back again. If the play moves over to the left side, the center back and left wing will then be cycling behind each other and the right wing will be hanging back.
