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

Description

This drill alternates sides each time, so kids and coaches will have to pay attention.

Single player O leaves with puck, and passes directly across blueline to the oncoming pair. X1 receives the pass and continues on a wide path almost perpendicular to the blueline. X2 (trailer) follows on a slightly wider and slower path with the intention of taking a route behind X1. O crosses BEHIND X1 and X2 and takes a wide route to ensure they do not go offside.

X1 slows after zone entry to choose whether X2 or O are their best pass option.

D sent on a route mirroring the X's to ensure they are covering X1 entering the zone.
