This drill was created using HockeyShare.com's Online Drill Drawing & Practice Planning Platform.
Description
Station 1 - Angling and head on a swivel
Coach dumps puck to corner, player retrieves puck focusing on a proper angle. Once the player has the puck they should drive to the net for a shot.
Station 2 - Open ice angling - Facing goal
Players pair up both facing the goal. Defender inside position forces player to move board side. Defender keeps player to board side, attacks his stick where blade meets shaft and squeezes angled player out while getting the puck.
Station 3 - Open ice angling - Defensive positioning 1 on 1
Players partner up, work on defensive positioning, outside shoulder of defender with inside shoulder of attacker.
Station 4 - Open ice angling - Facing inside shoulder
Players partner up with attacker facing the goal and defender facing the attacking player. Defender's helmet lines up with inside shoulder of attacker and while skating backward, forces player to move to board side.
Notes: Station 1 - Progression. 2nd player in line following the first player in and putting some passive pressure on the player to execute a good angle to the puck.
