Skating & puck skills W 3 goalies

Drill Diagram

Description

Shooting: Line them up at the top of the circle. Work on shooting technique from standing still point. Build to doing backhand shooting as well. KTP: Top hand away from body. Drive bottom hand into stick (try to break it!). Drive from back leg and finish with hips and stick pointing at the net (blade down toward ice).

2 on 2: Simple as it sounds. (C) dumps it in and let them play and have fun 2 on 2. (C) yells new puck then find new puck. Play 45-60 seconds then switch players.

Stickhandling: X starts beside the net (C) says go. Stickhandle through "ladder" then through the cones and head towards the 'tripod'. X will slide the puck through the tripod and go around it heading towards the jump! (2 cones set up with stick on top). X pushes puck through and then jumps over the stick, grabs puck and goes through one more 'ladder' towards the open stick. Encourage a Deke of some kind. More skilled players may toe drag. Others may just do shoulder fake then go in for shot on net!

Keep Away: O is trying to get the pucks from X and knock them outside the circle. X's must keep the puck! Once puck is knocked out they are done for that game. Rotate through O's. (C) can become O as well. Weighted pucks will be available to use as well as ball hockey balls to change up control/weight.

Skating: Working on starts and stops or backwards skating.
