LU13A - Special Teams Entry Game
This drill was created using HockeyShare.com's Online Drill Drawing & Practice Planning Platform.
Description
The Special Teams Entry Game from Coach is designed to increase the repetitions of the entry situation in special teams, both for the power play and penalty kill teams.
SETUP
1. Pucks in the defensive zone.
2. 4 PK in the neutral zone & 5 PP are spread out and stationary on the top of their defensive zone circles.
3. The coach starts the drill by giving the puck to one of the players on the Power Play. 5-4
The Penalty Kill tries to ice the puck while the Power Play works to gain possession and score a goal.
After the rep plays out for a while, the coach blows the whistle for a second time, and the Power Play returns to their end to get a second puck from the coach and attempt to score another goal.
COACHING POINTS
Penalty Kill should always keep their sticks on the ice and work to force chips and dumps.
The Power Play is at a disadvantage because they do not have a lot of speed, so they must work to be creative to generate space and gain the offensive blue line.
