Breakout Option - Strong Side Top Down

Diagrams     

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

Description

Breakout option to the strong side. Strong side winger (RW) is playing tighter to their D-man (X1). D1 recovers puck and initiates breakout by making a direct pass, or a board pass up the strong side. RW motion is from top-down to receive pass from D1. RW has option to chip puck past X1, or one-touch pass to the Centre who should be in motion for support. The weak-side winger (LW) should leave zone looking for the chip past X1, or looking for a pass from C. If C carries puck out of zone, then RW should curl in behind C and skate up the middle lane, and C will skate up the strong-side wall. Support the puck!
