My Favorite Hockey Agility Drill
Click Here for a printout of the Agility Drill that you can bring to the rink with you.
Speed is one of the most important attributes a hockey player can possess. True hockey speed is comprised of two elements: Skating Power (see our video on skating power) and Foot Speed (which includes agility). A player will not reach his full skating potential until he has achieved both.
The good news is that there are many hockey drills that can help young players to improve on both their skating power, as well as their foot speed & agility. Here is one of my favorite on-ice agility drills. I like it because it develops quick feet while skating forward, backward, as well as side-to-side. Enjoy!

Hey Jeremy,
Great drill. I started doing this last year with my kids and it really helped their movements. I run a modified version of this and find it helps them to move both directions laterally and forward and backward.
