(Older players shown in video; drill is simplified for younger players in diagram.)
Part 1 - Walk the Line & Shoot, D receives pass, sprints off wall to 'good ice,' and shoots. Off-handed players should sprint forward off wall then open hips (skate backwards) and shoot.
Part 2 - D to D Catch & Shoot, D1 receives the pass and passes to D2 without stick handling. D2 receives the pass
and shoots via two touching the puck (once to stop the puck, once to shoot the puck).
