Center Pass is a Great Drill for Younger Age Groups

Center Pass
Variation 1:
1. Coach dumps the puck into the corner
2. First player in white line goes and gets it
3. Next player in line goes to the front of the net
4. Pass out from the corner, shot on goal
Variation 2:
1. Coach dumps the puck into the corner

4. Player from the corner can either pass out front, or shoot
