The Cleaner

Drill Diagram

Description

The Winger against the boards, leaves the boards and lines up inside the Defence player.
If the draw is lost, the Cleaner flies through to cover the opposing defence player. Our other Winger skates straight to cover the other defence player on the point.
If we win the draw, the Cleaner still skates through and prepares for our normal breakout. Our other Winger skates hard to the opposite boards to prepare to receive the breakout pass from the Defence.
Centers must always draw the puck to the corner. Never towards our own net.
Centers must line up the Wingers before the draw is taken.
