Half Ice Conditioning Skating

Drill Diagram

Description

On the whistle, players leave in groups (i.e. 3) and skate as hard as they can through the skating course. The players should push themselves to 100% and get back in line. The skate simulates a 100% effort shift of backchecking and then a rest period. Encourage players to pass as a form of competition and 100% effort until crossing the goal line. If players cheat and/or don't put in 100% effort put them at the front of the line.

Notes: This can also be done with a puck.
