NZ Checking 1 on 1

Drill Diagram

Description

O = Offensive
X = Defender

O w/ puck skates around the bottom of the circle with speed and drives wide

X skates up the ice as fast as he can as if he was forechecking. X then recognizes that O is coming with speed and angles him to the wall trying to attack in the neutral zone.

If X creates a turn over he can go back the other way and try to score.

O would then become a back checker.
