Once the players cross the center ice red line he will slide a puck to either side , his choice. Players must read the play , communicate their plan of attack, the players must loop over the blue line before retrieving the puck.

Once the skaters have crossed the blue and have procession of the puck they must make a controlled bounce pass that the other skater will swoop in and pick up and they go on the attack 2 on 0 .

Skaters must communicate their plan as to how they want to attack , cross ice 2v0 , follow up rebound or whatever they choose. DO NOT COMMUNICATE YOUR INTENTIONS WHILE STANDING IN LINE BEFORE THE DRILL STARTS !!!!!!!!!
