Description

On coaches signal a forward and defence leave at the same time. The forward has a puck and the defence doesn't. The forward skates around the outside pylons as drawn and the defence mirrors pivot from forward to backward and backward to forward at the top of the pylons. On the final pylon, the goal is for the defence to keep the forward to the outside. They shouldn't over-commit and/or take risky steps.

Notes: Forwards should skate as fast as possible and the defence needs to develop pivoting and speed skills.
