4 on 4 is designed to promote skating, and puck movement as opposed to foregoing the basic skills of the game to concentrate on the body checking and physical aspects of the game. 4 on 4 opens up the ice and allows players to be more creative and concentrate on passing, shooting, recognizing situations and how to react to them. It gives players more touches and promotes puck possession, which directly leads to better individual skills.
