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

Description

X1 starts with the puck passing to X2 as they swing through the slot. After giving the pass, X1 will swing through and get open for a pass from X2, they will continue to pass back and forth and try to score on the offensive rush. D1 will skate up and time out the gap between him and the two forwards, transition and defend. X3 will leave to backcheck after X2 receives the pass from X1.

Notes: The backchecker and defense should communicate which player they are going to cover.
