Pin Wheel

Drill Diagram

Description

Two passers (coaches) are placed just inside blue-line, each has 1 puck (pinwheel puck). Two additional coaches are place in opposite corners with pucks. Players in opposite corners.

On command, 1st player in each line skates forward & receives pinwheel puck pass from 'P' (in red & green). Each player skates into neutral zone & passes pinwheel puck to 2nd 'P.'

Players continue & receive 2nd puck (in black) from coach in corner and shoot, go to end of line.

After receiving pinwheel puck pass, 'P' pivots & passes pinwheel puck to next player who must use timing to receive pass.

Ideally, the 'Passers' will only use two pucks.

Notes: Encourage players to call for puck. Emulate positive habits to the players & expect positive habits from players.
