This drill was created using HockeyShare.com's Online Drill Drawing & Practice Planning Platform.
This drill is designed for the 3 forwards doing the forechecking and the 5 players defending are to only play keep away from those 3 forecheckers and should not try to clear the puck from the zone, play keep away below the top of the circles only.
With the players lined up coach dumps a puck in behind the goal line in different areas every time. the 3 forecheckers take off and forecheck with aggression trying to pin the team in their zone. The forecheckers should read the play and potential passes or puck movement and while being aggressive and trying to maintain a triangle.
The defending team tries to set up a breakout but never passes the puck out of the zone. Drill continues for 45 to 60 seconds or until the forecheckers score.
