Pressure 2 on 1

Drill Diagram

Description

D leaves and skates to center ice line and pivots backpeddling to inside blue. F leaves and passes the puck to that D then attacks. A second F leaves corner and occupies a lane in the neutral while the D that received the puck tries to hit the other D on far blue who can ONLY skate across the blue line (back and forth) trying to create a passing lane for the D with the puck on the other Blue. If a successful pass is made between them then the two F regroup and head down 2 on 1 after getting pass from that D. If they interecpt a pass between the two D then the 2 on 1 starts right away. Then the opposite F line starts and makes a pass to that same D who started the 2 on 1.

Notes: Important that 2nd F who occupies lane in Neutral looks to see where the D is who is trying to get open and not just become a 2nd attacker. Also the D need to be creative and try to thread the needle if no other option is available

Switch to 3 forwards leaving to create more interceptions and quick plays 3 on 1.
