“Snake” Hockey Shooting Drill
One of my favorite hockey shooting drills. Simple to set up, but teaches some profound concepts.
This could be one of the most basic hockey shooting drills out there… but it is also one of the most effective because of the concepts that can be applied. Click here for a printout you can bring to the rink with you.
Cheers!

Profound concepts, indeed. This drill especially points out the importance of players knowing WHY they’re performing a drill, beyond just doing it well. I stumbled across your web site a few weeks ago and just love it. Thanks so much for all the hard work and thought that goes into this blog. It’s an incredible resource.

Jeremy, I like running this drill however instead of having the drill end in the corner I have my players continue and skate to the top of the second circle where they receive a pass from the opposite corner from a coach for a second shot on net. This forces the 5 defenders to react to the pressure in the seam coming from both sides on the same drill.

John – I like that variation. Gives the players a chance to work on their one-timer too.
