Players skate this pattern and go hard (100%) down the middle (hash to hash) and then after circling they go easy down the boards (they can stretch, work on edges or just skate)

Introduce pivots on blue line while they are going hard down middle; backwards between blue; crossovers etc.

Do with pucks as well and they can be passing to coaches doing give and gos but be careful not to slow them down thru the middle. You want them to be ready to go after this drill

Notes: Goalies can skate this as well but try to keep them to the outside thru the middle so they dont get run over and/or slow down players going hard.
