Figure 8 Angling Drill

By Jeremy Weiss, October 22, 2009 7:34 pm

One of my favorite Hockey Body Checking Drills to work on body positioning and angling

Remember, as you progress into hockey body checking drills, to stress that the purpose of body checking in hockey is to separate the man from the puck. To do this effectively, players need a strong base in the following areas:

  1. “Raw” Skating Ability
  2. Agility
  3. Body Positioning (Angling, Gap Control, etc…)
  4. Stick Positioning
  5. Make the Hit

This video shows a simple drill to work on angling with your players. As always, click here for a printout to bring with you to the rink.

Cheers!
