* X continues skating towards opposite cone
* X pivots (ALWAYS FACING PASSER) to receive pass back
* O feeds pass to X
* X accelerates to opposite cones, turns and drives net for shot.
* Repeat with O passing to X
PROGRESSION 2:
* Return pass is made only after X moves through both cones and is driving the net (Net-Drive)
PROGRESSION 3:
* X turns around opposite cone and drives net wide. O must pull into the middle (to create better passing angle). O feeds pass to X for shot.
