Boards Battle Station

Drill Diagram

Description

The coach puts a puck on the boards and X and O start shoulder to shoulder facing the coach. On "go" both X and O turn away from each other (i.e. the outside) and race for the puck on the boards. The players battle for possession and when the coach yells "score" the players have to get the puck to the net at the other end.

Notes: Players need to have a scoring mentality and get a shot off under pressure from the opposing player. They must stay on their feet.
