5-0 Breakout Drill

Drill Diagram

Description

Coach shoots puck in to Goalie. Goalie steers the puck to RD who is breaking in quickly to assume possession of puck.

LD equally skates hard into corner to receive puck from RD. In parallel, RW is skating to 1/2 boards to retrieve a breakout pass from LD. Center is looping underneath and skates up ice.

RW has option to pass to Center or, better option if open, makes a hard pass to LW who is skating between the seam through the middle for a potential break away pass

Notes: You can obviously breakout from opposite direction.
