Figure 8 Shooting and Deflection

Hockey Drills, Individual Skill Drills, Shooting
Figure 8 Shooting and Deflection is a Great Shooting Drill Here's a quick and effective hockey shooting drill that incorporates shots from the points, and deflections in front of the net. I like to run this drill from both ends so the forwards get plenty of chances to execute. Encourage your defensemen to fire low, hard shots on net that the forwards will be able to deflect.

Synchronized Passing

Hockey Drills, Individual Skill Drills, Passing & Timing
Use this Hockey Passing Drill to Develop Passing Technique in Motion Synchronized Passing is a simple, yet highly effective, hockey passing drill that will help players to develop their ability to maintain proper hockey passing technique while in motion. Players should be taught to incorporate their weight transfer into their stride while giving and receiving passes. This will help them to "cushion and sweep" their passes properly. Here's the diagram and explanation: Synchronized Passing: 1. Players skate side by side, giving and receiving passes while in motion. 2. After skating behind the net, players crisscross so that they work both forehand and backhand passing. 3. Start slow, then work up to full speed. NOTE: Start with your players very close to each other. As their skill level improves, increase the…
