D Puck Movement & Agility

Drill Diagram

Animation #1   

Description

This drill is designed to work on a D mans footwork , puck movement and agility.
As with most of my drills timing is very very important.

Set up as shown, D1 is at the circle facing the F he will be working with.

On the whistle D1 starts skating backwards around the circle till he gets to the tire, at the tire he makes a pass to F waiting at the Red line without stoping he then pivots backward into the zone waiting to receive a return pass.

F7 must start moving toward the D man who gave him the pass, they can not stand still and make return pas. F7 then makes a return pass to D1 and does a very tight turn or better yet power stop to start heading the opposite direction.

D1 receives pass and does a reverse snow plow stop and starts skating forward looking to hit D1 with a regroup pass then follow him into the zone to pick up a rebound should there be 1

The opposite side can not start the drill until F 1 crosses the center ice line when heading in for his shot, remember timing is important so don't jump the gun.
