2 Lines, Forwards and Defense

Position 3 players in defensive position.

Coach dumps puck in corner, D picks up puck in corner, first forward in weak side winger position skates hard to the boards to provide the wing option for the D, the 2nd forward, strong side winger makes a deep turn closure to the middle of the ice to give the center option. D skates around net and chooses primarily center, if puck is passed to winger then winger can chip around coach or directly pass to center (middle).

Center takes puck down ice for a shot on net. Winger trails for rebound. 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.
