Figure 8 Passing (Skills)

Drill Diagram

Description

X1 skates with the puck and in motion pass (1) to O1 who gives a pass (2) back. X1 crosses through the middle of pylons and does a tight turn around pylon 2 and passes (3) back to O1. O1 returns another pass (4) to X1 who crosses through the middle of the pylons again and does a tight turn around pylon 1 and makes another pass (5) to O1. O1 makes one last pass (6) leading X1 to the far pylon. X1 then pivots backwards around pylon 3 with the puck and skates backwards to pylon 4 and pivots back to forwards. They then stick handles through the pucks and once they reach the end they return to the line.

Notes: Move O1 to the other side for passes on different hands. Players should use forehand or backhand for passes depending on handiness and position of O1.
