The Swedish 5-Pass & Shot drill is a great way to work on some of the passing and skating patterns used in regroups. This is a more advanced drill, so make sure you have the right group for it before giving it a try. Here’s the diagram:
Swedish 5-Pass & Shot
1. On whistle, first player from each diagonal line leaves without a puck (only one line shown here to keep the diagram simple)
2. First player skates across the blue line, receives a pass from the second player of the opposite line, then touch-passes it back
3. After passing it back, he or she loops around the top of the center-ice circle, receives a pass from the same line he or shee left from, then touch-passes it back
4. After the second touch pass, player loops out wide, opens up as an outlet pass, receives another pass from the same line he/she left from, and attacks 1 on 0
Here’s a Fantastic Hockey Warm-up Drill with a Five-Phase Progression!
The 4 Blueline Warm-up is part of the Scott Fukami drill collections available through DrillDraw. If you already own DrillDraw, you should really take a look at these. They’re phenomenal. This drill has 5 phases, or sequences. Here’s what they look like:
PHASE 1:
**Drill starts on the whistle. Both ends at the same time.
On the whistle, (1) skates across the blueline and makes a pass to (2). Return pass to (1) for a shot on the (G).
Stretch Pass : see Seq. # 2.
PHASE 2:
**Drill starts on the whistle. Both ends at the same time.
Stretch Pass :
On the whistle, (1) skates across the blueline and makes a pass to (2). Return pass to (1). (1) makes a pass to (3) and continues to the blueline. (3) makes a stretch pass to (1) on the opposite blueline for a shot on the (G).
Full-circle Stretch Pass : see Seq. # 3.
PHASE 3:
**Drill starts on the whistle. Both ends at the same time.
Full-circle Stretch Pass : (only one side shown)
On the whistle, (1) skates across the blueline and makes a pass to (2). Return pass to (1). (1) makes a pass to (3) and continues full-circle to the opposite blueline. (3) makes a stretch pass to (1) on the opposite blueline for a shot on the (G).
Double Regroup Stretch Pass : see Seq. # 4.
PHASE 4:
**Drill starts on the whistle. Both ends at the same time.
Double Regroup Stretch Pass : (only one side shown)
On the whistle, (1) skates across the blueline and makes a pass to (2). Return pass to (1). (1) makes a pass to (3) and continues full-circle to the opposite blueline. (1) turns to the boards. (3) makes a stretch pass to (1) for a shot on the (G).
PHASE 5:
**Drill starts on the whistle. Both ends at the same time.
Mohawk Turn Stretch Pass : (only one side shown)
On the whistle, (1) skates across the blueline and makes a pass to (2). Return pass to (1). (1) makes a pass to (3) and makes a mohawk turn to the boards. (3) makes a cross-ice pass to (2). (2) makes a stretch pass to (1) on the opposite blueline for a shot on the (G).
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! Here’s the diagram and explanation:
Spice Figure 8 Passing Drill
1. On the whistle, one (F) from each line diagonally across from each other goes.
2. Each (F) takes a few steps forward, then passes to the far (D).
3. The defensemen make a few “D to D” passes, then hit the (F) as he power turns around the far cone.
4. After skating the figure 8 as shown in the diagram, (F) picks up the puck, splits the defensemen, and enters the zone for a shot on net.
This is a great little hockey regroup drill that can be converted into a 1 on 1 as your players progress. Here’s the diagram and explanation:
Burkart Regroup
1. (F) passes to (D) and swings
2. D to D pass, then back to the Forward
3. (F) receives pass, then executes another regroup with other set of defensemen
4. (F) attacks 1 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!!
