Timing is everything passing drill
Description
Purpose: Players work on timing, passing; great practice for breaking out of the defensive zone or moving the puck through the neutral zone.
Notes: · Pucks in circles at opposite ends · x1 starts with the puck and takes a shot at the opposite end to start the drill · x2 leaves when x1 hits centre ice · x1 picks up a puck from the pile in the circle and fires a pass to x2, who should be above the faceoff circle on the opposite side of the ice · Once x2 reaches the blueline (before picking up the pass), x3 leaves · x2 picks up the pass from x1 and takes a couple of strides across the ice · x3 should be at centre ice at this point · x3 curls toward the middle of the ice and gets a quick pass from x2 · x3 continues down the ice for a shot on net.
· When x2 reaches centre ice, x4 leaves · x2 picks up a puck from the pile in the circle and fires the pass to x4 · When x4 gets to the far blueline, x5 leaves · x4 picks up the pass from x2, takes a few strides across the ice and passes to x5, who should be at centre ice · x5 picks up the pass and shoots at the opposite end · x4 picks up a puck from the pile in the circle and makes a pass to the next forward in line, who leaves when x4 gets to the far blueline · The drill is continuous and requires communication and heads up play.
