Spice Figure 8 Passing Drill



Here’s Another One of my Favorite Hockey Passing Drills

I love this hockey passing drill because it just flows well––especially when you have the right group of players for it. At it’s best, this is a quick-paced, “tic-tac-toe” type of drill. However, if you have the wrong group of players, this drill will grind to a halt pretty quickly. So, just make sure your players are advanced enough before attempting this one!

Enjoy!!

Coach Regroup 2 on 0



The Coach Regroup 2 on 0 is a nice little regroup drill, with plenty of progressions to work toward!

I love this drill because is is very modifiable. You can start simple, with coaches controlling the play, and progress to complex variations which include 2 on 1′s!

I’ve used this drill with all levels of experience, from beginners up to college-level players, and it’s always a lot of fun!

Enjoy!!

Tom Renney Warm-up



The Tom Renney Warm-up has a little something for every position!

This is a fantastic warm-up drill for more advanced teams. My old junior coach back in Toronto, Kevin Burkett, used to run this with us almost every practice. It’s great because it is high speed, mimics many different game situations, and involves every player on the ice.

Enjoy!

“S” Warm-up Drill



Use this Hockey Warm-up Drill to get everyone moving at the beginning of your practice!

This is a great little high-speed hockey warm-up drill that incorporates many different elements of the game, including skating, passing, and shooting. I typically have my defensemen acting as the passers, since that neutral zone “d-to-d” pass is something they will need to perform over and over in games.

Make sure to push those defensemen to make quick, hard, stick-to-stick passes to each other, and then fire that cross-ice pass hard and accurately.

Enjoy!
