Diagrams     

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

Description

Player starts at the edge of the circle and side steps to the center ice faceoff dot. Player stops at the dot, then side steps back to the edge where they started and quickly crosses over around the circle (feet moving quickly - focus on overspeed here).
Player continues around the circle, then skates out to the neutral zone faceoff dot, performs a defense turn and skates backwards to the opposite faceoff dot. Player pivots forward and receives pass from the coach and takes a shot on net, follow up for rebound.

Notes: Drill can be done with or without a puck
