Continuos 2 Hinge Drill
This drill was created using HockeyShare.com's Online Drill Drawing & Practice Planning Platform.
Description
Set D players up as shown. This drill is done with skating players always facing center ice.
On the coaches whistle D1 & D2 start skating backwards, when D1 is about 10 feet away from the center ice red line he receives a pass from D3.
D1 then continues to skate backwards controlling the puck and looking the ice over, when D1 is sure D2 is deeper in the zone then he is D1 makes a cross ice pass to D2.
Both players then pivot and begin skating forward on an angle towards the opposite side of the ice. D2 then makes a pass to D4, as skaters approach the neutral zone both players then pivot again and begin to skate straight backwards.
When D2 is about 10 feet away from D4 he receives a pass and the drill continues back the other direction.
Each pairing does this back and forth until 3 revolutions have been completed, as the drill moves back to the side it started from for the third time D3 & D4 assume the positions D1 & D2 started the drill with and the drill continues with no stoppage.
Very important to not rush passes, no player should receive a pass and one touch or return it immediately as it will throw off the timing and purpose for the drill. Make passes when the time is correct and player receiving it is in proper position and is ready to receive it.
