Short-range Edgework Rotations
This drill was created using HockeyShare.com's Online Drill Drawing & Practice Planning Platform.
Description
Rotation A - Buddy Pushes & Races. Use a combination of 1v1 edgework games (pushups for each loss):
Version 1 - Buddy pushes/pulls (1 stick): players grab same stick and use edgework to push/pull other player to blue line (players can alternate with coach direction who is pushing or pulling)
Version 2 - Tug of war at the red line (2 sticks): players grab both sticks and try to pull other player over the red line using edgework
Version 3 - Tag (2 sticks): players lay both sticks on the ice and on whistle play 30 sec tag using edgework/deception for points then alternate
Rotation B - 3 Cones, 3 Whistles. Half the players start inside a set of 3 numbered cones. For 45s, coach will blow whistle once, twice, or three times to indicate which cone the players must circle then return to the middle of their set of cones. Players may use tight turns, crossover stops, or pivots as needed to execute quickly. Rotate in other group of skaters after each 45s "shift". Consider iterations: must face coach during cone circles, must face coach with coach moving, pass puck(s) on long whistles.
