Drill starts when coach passes to X1. O1 and X1 head up ice passing the puck, with a stickhandle in between. At the far blue line, X1 takes puck and swings to top of circle and then carries it into the cones. At the 1st cone they transition backwards with the puck to the inside cone. At the inside cone they transition forwards and again, emphasis is on accelerating to the next cone. At the third cone they transition backwards again to the first cone where they transition forwards and accelerate with the puck to the corner, where they go to the opposite line they started at. O1 will do the same through their set of cones.
Next pair start when the pair in front has reached the first Blue Line.
Coach will work with goalies at the other end.
