1. The first over-speed drill focuses on cross-overs around four of the circles. Ideally they will go two at a time out of both corners. Allows players to keep their feet moving the entire time. Challenge them to keep moving feet faster!

2. Quick feet around the circles, focus on good, hard, long strides with full extension and full recovery through the neutral zone. Push the puck to maximize speed through the neutral zone.

3. Quick feet around the circles, focus on lateral crossovers quickness and deception through the neutral zone.

4. Players work on attacking the blue line inside to outside using the cross-overs, the first player will take a shot from the outside lane and the second player will use their edges to gain the center of the ice for a shot from the slot area.

5. The first player starts out by skating in a circle as shown in the diagram (regroup). The second player carries a puck out to the face-off dot, transitions backwards, controls the puck backwards, and times their transition forwards so they can make a hard flat breakout pass to the forward at full speed.
