Description

Set D men up with pucks as shown

On coaches whistle first player skates around the circle with a puck while keeping his eyes on the coach and always facing forward.

After completing the circle the D man passes to coach and receives a return pass and then skates around coach and in for a shot.

The players on the opposite side go after the first pass is completed

Timing is key so as not to have multiple players shooting on the goalie at the same time.
