Low Cycle (3 Man Cycle)

Diagrams     

Description

3 Players in corner work on cycling the puck back down the boards. On signal from Coach, players make pass to net front for shot.Add defenders to create a competitive, game-like situation.

Notes: In the low cycle, the player with the puck, using good puck protection techniques, spot passes the puck off the boards. The forward in front of the net reads the cycle and jumps down to pick up the spot while the high forward rotates to position in front of the net. Ideally the cycle confuses the defensive coverage and a lane to the net opens up.
