Passing - Head man through neutral zone
This drill was created using HockeyShare.com's Online Drill Drawing & Practice Planning Platform.
Description
1) X1 skates down the boards and cuts across the ice in the far zone to receive a pass from O5.
2) X2 follows X1, delays and cuts in at the near blue line to receive pass from X1 (player must stay on sides)
3) X2 goes into the zone for a shot on net and returns to the back of the line.
4) X1 skates to the face off circle in his original zone to make the pass to the first player on the other line (O1)
5) repeat cycle
Notes: Reinforces good passing, head man passing and timing. Also helps to break players out of the habit of trying to skate through the entire other team in the neutral zone.
Although drawn as only one line skating, this drill runs from both sides. This is a flow drill, one whistle starts the and should continue without interruption.
Make sure player receiving the initial pass (X1 in the example above) skates into the zone to simulate a breakout pass, rather than trying to catch a home run pass in the neutral zone.
