10 Pass Game

Drill Diagram

Description

In this drill, players learn the art of team puck management. This very simple but effective game drill will
help your players to learn puck possession skills and passing on offence and one-on-one coverage and support on defence. The drill is played 3 on 3 inside a zone. The first team to make 10 passes within the zone wins. The passes do not have to be consecutive. The drill starts with a faceoff between two opposing players. The draw off the face off does not count as a pass. The puck can be passed indirectly to a teammate or cycled but the receiving player must gain possession of the puck for the pass to count. If the puck goes outside the playing zone, it goes to the team that did not touch it last!
