This drill was created using HockeyShare.com's Online Drill Drawing & Practice Planning Platform.
Forwards are positioned around the top of the circle on the defensive side of the play as they would in a game and the Defense are on the blueline as they would be in a game. Players start by facing the Coach behind the net, Coach then puts a puck up the wall and both the Forward and Defenseman race for the puck and battle to gain position. Play goes until one player comes out with the puck.
Progression to having another D behind the net and making the outlet pass to the Forward to start the battle.
