Forecheck and positioning 1

Drill Diagram

Description

Coach dumps a puck in the corner. D1 picks it up and takes it behind the net. F1 skates to the far boards to set-up a breakout. F2 chases D1 behind the net and tries to take away the puck (angle defender into the boards). D1 looks to outlet to F1, who return the puck to the coach.

Notes: Next stage will add another forechecker to cover F1, additional breakout option, and so on until full breakout vs. 1-2-2 trap forecheck.
