Section 2 - Star Passing Drill. 5 players around circle. Player always passes to the same person and receives a pass form the same player.
Section 3 - Coach dumps puck in corner. 1st player goes to puck. 2nd players goes to boards as option 1. 3rd player goes to front of net as Option 2. Once kids understand drill, send in a for-checker.
Section 4 - Knockout game. Players start with puck in the circle. Coach says go and kids try to knockout other players puck from the circle while keeping their own puck in the circle. Once players puck gets knocked out they are out of the game. They must go get their puck and stick handle outside the circle while the game finishes. Last player in the middle with their puck wins!
Section 5 - Bank pass. Two lines with cone in between. Player in front of 1 line bank passes to the player at the front of the other line. Once he passes he goes to the bank of the line. You can change angles of the bank pass as you go by moving the lines or cone.

Notes: Hopefully we will have a lot of coaches on the ice. Please get the head coaches to delegate coaches into the sections with Head Coaches "Floating" between sections while assisting or observing.
