Crossovers/Deke Rip Seam

Drill Diagram

Description

Warm-up drill starts with players passing to player down low. after they catch the pass they pull the puck wide hard (deke) to get around tires or object simulating a player, and then use quick starts to take off quickly with the puck. Then skate hard and rip the seam using strong crossovers to accelerate around the turn and then shoot on net. When catching pass on backhand be sure they catch puck on the heel of the stick. Make sure technique is sound in all aspects of passing, receiving, dekes, and shot. Players should pick a target and shoot. If shooting on goalie use the rule : If goalie comes out deke, if goalie stays home shoot.
