Full Ice Stations: Outside Drive and Protect the Puck

Drill Diagram

Description

Outside Drive:
F1 takes easy pass from coach and glides towards boards. D1 tries to match stride and mirrors angle towards boards. Around the faceoff dot F1 curls hard and attempts to explode around D1 to the outside, using crossovers to build speed. D1 can either pivot backwards or chase forwards if beaten.

Protect Puck
F2 takes a slow dump in from coach, and D2 is instructed to not win race to puck, but to begin preparing angle of defense. F2 learns to turn back to D2 and find alternate ways to the net.
