Diagrams      Video

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

Description

D swings into NZ and gets pass from F (3 passes). D then pivots to backwards and skates as show on diagram and passes to F who posts up on the boards. F goes down the ice and takes shot on goal, D after 1st regroup skates around the middle in the NZ and gets a 2nd pass from F (3 passes) from the other side and repeats sequence.
Both sides diagonal at the same time, D's need to communicate.

Notes: We want to see strong puck-control, under-handling and pace from the defenders.
Forwards shoot in stride.
