U9 - Puck Race

Drill Diagram

Description

Location: Half Ice

Setup: One cone at each faceoff dot outside the zone. Player split up into even tiers.

Description: Players start behind the goal line in each corner. On the whistle, players will skate hard to race around the cone with a tight turn. Both skates should remain on the ice to maintain proper balance and edges while turning.

If a player loses the puck race, encourage them to chase the other player and not give up on the play.
