Breakout and offensive shot - Center/Winger Option

Drill Diagram

Description

2 Lines, Forwards and Defense
Coach dumps puck in corner, D skates backwards to the faceoff dot pivots and skates to retrieve puck. Once D pivots first forward makes a deep turn closure to the middle of the ice to give the center option. Second forward mimics the high winger and comes across and turns up at the dot. D skates around net and chooses winger or center, if puck is passed to winger. If center gets the pass then they try to hit winger breaking down ice. Winger goes in for shot.

Defense follows up and takes position at point. After the shot center goes to the corner to a pile of pucks and passes one back to the winger. D takes shot on net with winger screening the goalie.

Run both sides of the ice at the same time

Switch sides halfway through drill.

Coaches play passive defence, position where potential attackers could be.
