First 3 players leave at same time, start heading up ice and skate the circles once and then head over to opposite circle and skate that circle once. Once first 3 players have passed the line at bottom of circle, the next 3 player go...

Once players have finished skating the 2nd circle they skate up to faceoff dot in neutral zone, perform pivot at the dot and skate backwards towards other dot. When they arrive at other dot - open up (facing 1st dot - no power turns) and skate forward hard to other side near red line at boards.

Do the drill opposite way back towards original corner.

*** There will be multiple skaters at each circle and faceoff dot - HEADS UP and go around player in the way ***

Notes: Variations:
1. You can do this 3/4 or full ice using neutral zone dots as pivots and circles for crossovers.
2. Add in pucks - Keeping head up with proper puck control (i.e. control puck in front while skating forwards - drag with two hands on stick going backwards, etc...)
3. Do entire drill facing one way - pivoting at top and bottom of circles.
4. Do entire drill backwards w/ or w/o pucks.

Tags: Explosive start, good full crossovers around circles., Always have Head Up, stick on the ice., Good pivots-NO power turns., Backwards skating - knees bents, chest up, one hand on stick (w/ no puck).
