Penalty Kill Forecheck Angling Drill The Penalty Kill Forecheck Angling Drill works really well to teach proper angling technique for F1 & F2 on the PK forecheck. Here's the diagram and explanation: Penalty Kill Forecheck Angling Drill 1. Breakout man skates in, and opens up to either side for a breakout pass from the coach 2.

Awesome Hockey Forechecking Drill that Works on Multiple Game Situations I've been using this Hockey Forechecking Drill in my practices, and it has worked really well for my team. The thing I really like about it, is that it allows you to work on a lot of different stuff at once. Obviously, the main focus is forechecking, but you're also working on D-Zone Coverage, and Breakouts as well. Here's how the drill works: 5 forecheckers start at center ice 5 defenders at each end Coach dumps puck in, defenders attempt to break out, or play d-zone coverage, depending on how quickly the forecheckers get in Forecheckers execute whichever forechecking system the coach designates Play continues until defending team breaks out, or until the forecheckers score If defending team breaks out,…
