BreakOut Building Blocks: D Pass to 2-on-2

Drill Diagram

Description

LD and RD line up inside Blue Line;
C lines up at Center Ice;
With D skating backwards, Coach dumps puck in zone;
D pivot and closest D retrieves puck and skates out with head up [LD and RD must communicate], other D goes to net front and supports puck;
C skates down to support D with puck and then curls as D moves out;
F skates down to break out position on hash marks/boards;
D makes pass to F;
F receives pass and passes to C (or carries puck out);
F and C circle around NZ face off dot and come back in 2-on-2 on D


Notes: Coach should dump puck to both side, but puck always moved to side where F is curling;
After several reps, alternate sides so players work both forehand and backhand
