1 on 1 would actually be better than a shootout, lol.
When I was 11 we were in the finals of a tournament and the OT format was 5v5 for 5 minutes, 4v4 for 4 minutes, 3v3 for 3, 2v2 for 2, and then 1v1 for 1 minute until someone scored.
I got the second shift of the 1 on 1. Got the faceoff, turned around in my own zone to get some speed, and then tried to hows-she-goin the other guy but f***ed up and hit his skate. He obviously kicked it forward for a breakaway and scored. In hindsight, I made a terrible choice - should have protected the puck more than anything and just tried to burn him wide.
I still have nightmares about it. This is why I'm risk-averse to a fault, to this day.
