2 vs 2 continuous transitions
This drill was created using HockeyShare.com's Online Drill Drawing & Practice Planning Platform.
Description
F1 & F2 attack two defensemen in a 2v2 line rush situation. After they enter the offensive zone two new forwards F3 & F4 move into defensive coverage position but do not interfere with the play. F1 & F2 continue the play until the defenders steal the puck and make a breakout pass to F3 & F4. F3 & F4 then attack two new defensemen and the drill continues.
This is a game situation drill that has many of the elements found in the average hockey shift (line rush for, line rush against, defensive zone coverage, in zone offense and breakouts). There is a lot of hockey being played!
Defensemen can work on gapping skills, 1v1 coverage skills, breakouts and communication with their partner.
Forwards can focus on line rush attack skills, reading the defensive gap, offensive zone play, puck protection, cycling, support, pick plays and breakout transition.
