Drill Diagram

Animation #1   

Description

1: Coach dumps the puck in and Line 1 breaks out, crosses the red line, and dumps the puck in
2: Next line retrieves puck, breaks out, crosses the red line and dumps the puck in.
Drill is Continuous

Coaches Notes: Coaching should be done during the drill or on the sides after each turn is taken. Coaches can also skate alongside a player with instructions, or take the place of a player to demonstrate what you are trying to do.

Players need to be reminded to stay on the boards. If running with two teams, the teams should be setup on opposite sides of the ice.

**Advanced: Send in coaches as forecheckers or 1-2 players after they dumped the puck in.

**Goalies: Should know the teams breakouts and be able to talk, so they can participate. Also, they can work on playing the puck, or the goalie coach can work on shots or breakaways after the side of the ice is cleared.
