Diagrams

This drill was created using HockeyShare.com's Online Drill Drawing & Practice Planning Platform.

Description

1. Bank Pass-Skate & Shoot: X gives a bank pass behind the net to O. X weaves through the pylons and heads for the goal. O passes the puck to X and starts weaving through pylons on his side. X shoots and goes to end of O line. Next O in line then gives bank pass to X and continues the pattern.
2. Skating & Passing: X skates with puck to pylon and performs a 360 around pylon, while O skates to pylon without a puck and does the same. Skating down ice toward each other, X passes to O. O continues to skate with puck and passes to next X in line. O goes to back of X line. X goes to back of O line.
3. Puckhandling: Alternating, X from each group skates with puck performing a 360 around the pylon. Skating forwards with the puck, X puckhandles zig-zag through the pylons while continuing skating straight forwards. (i.e. pylons are always between players legs as they puckhandle). X then goes in for a shot on net and skates back down the blue line or along the end zone boards back in line.

Try to alternate players from each group as to avoid the goalie getting shots simultaneously.
