Guard the Gate
Players pair up. Coach spots a puck into an open
space and both players compete to gain puck
possession. Whoever has the puck attempts to score a
point by skating between the tires. The other player
must use skating skills to angle and gain defensive side
body position denying player O a lane to attack. If puck
possession changes, the players also change
positions. Play 1v1 until the whistle. Several sets of
tires can be used so that multiple 1v1 are happening
simultaneously.

Notes: Coach works with goalie in neutral zone.
