Diagram

Half-ice diagram of Three-Lane Wave Shooting. Three lines labelled 1, 2 and 3 wait at the red line in the top, middle and bottom lanes, each with pucks. Lane 1 carries in and shoots from the top slot, lane 2 from the middle, and lane 3 from the bottom slot, one after another. Each shooter clears out along the side and returns to their own line.
