O Zone Positional Skate
This drill was created using HockeyShare.com's Online Drill Drawing & Practice Planning Platform.
Description
Line up in positions at one end and all 5 go together. Wingers hug wall all the way down and then once they hit blue line they drive hard to the post stopping with sticks inside then they go hard back to dot again stopping with sticks on the inside and hard back down to the post. Centers go hard down middle lane and drive net and stop facing the goalie. They then do high knee crossovers back and forth (sq shoulders and hips). The D skate backwards from faceoff dots to red line; pivot and pinch hard to hash marks; backwards to blue line then backwards across (drag the blue line) and repeat. Goalies start on just below Blue Line and as the skaters come down they telescope backwards to the crease and follow the center back and forth in front of their net. They all do this until they hear a whistle then they go below goal line and recover while next group comes and stay out of the way.
Notes: Add a coach either behind net or in the corner making passes to whoever. Tell them not to worry about the puck to keep skating hard and if the puck is there take it and put it on net. Goalie now has to pay attention when a puck enters and try to make the save. Then go back to skating and look for next puck to enter.
