Cycle Give and Go Drill The Cycle Give and Go Drill is an awesome way to introduce cycling concepts, and offensive attack patterns. Here's the diagram: Cycle Give and Go Drill 1. Player from line 1 leaves with the puck and walks up the boards, then cycles back to player from line 2 2. Player from line 1 drives through the seam for a give and go pass, receives the pass from player 2, then executes a one-time-shot Variation: After receiving the pass back from player 2, player 1 touch-passes to player 3 or 2 for a one-time-shot Enjoy!

Burkart 2 on 2 Deflection

1 on 1's, 2 on 2's, 2 on 1's, 3 on 2's, Hockey Drills, Individual Skill Drills, Passing & Timing, Shooting, Team Skill Drills
Burkart 2 on 2 Deflection My good buddy, and assistant coach, Josh Burkart showed this one to me a couple of years ago. It's a solid drill that has a pretty quick rotation, so not much standing around once your players pick up the flow of it. Here's the diagram: Burkhart 2 on 2 Deflection Drill 1. (F) passes to (D) then drives net 2. D to D pass and shot 3. (F) deflects, then stays in front 4. Other corner passes out to (D) then drives net 5. D to D pass and shot 6. Other (F) deflects 7.

The Sniper's Edge is an Awesome Hockey Targeting System that Offers Plenty of Versatility A few months ago, I got my hands on the Sniper's Edge from HockeyShot. I had seen this Hockey Targeting System in the past, but hadn't ever used one before. So, I was excited at the chance to give it a whirl, and was impressed with the experience. Product Overview The Sniper's Edge fits over any standard two-car garage door opening, and comes in 2 sizes, 7' x 16' or 8' x 16' (so make sure you measure the height of your garage door before ordering). The unit comes tightly wrapped in a box - make sure you follow the labeling and DON'T USE A KNIFE TO OPEN THE BOX, as you will risk slicing a…

Shooting: My Favorite Off-ice Shooting Drill

Shooting: My Favorite Off-ice Shooting Drill

Hockey Drills, Hockey Equipment, Individual Skill Drills, Off-ice Training, Shooting, Skills
P.I.G. is One of my Favorite Off-ice Shooting Drills When I was in high school, we had a hockey net and backstop out in my parents' side yard. We also had a Shooter Tutor strapped up to the net, with about 100 pucks. Almost everyday my buddy and I would shoot pucks together. To keep it entertaining, most of the time we'd play a game called P.I.G. P.I.G. is really fun, and can be played on or off the ice. Here's how it works... The Rules: P.I.G. works a lot like H.O.R.S.E. in basketball, except that it's a shorter game, so it's a little more intense. Basically, a player calls his or her shot. The shots can be any typical shot, or you can get creative and start calling posts…

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! 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…
