Purpose

Passing, shooting, and quick breakout with give and go.

Description

Puck behind net.

D1 (defense) goes 2 times.

Retrieves puck from behind net and passes to F2 (goes give and go with the coach), and then shoots.

D1 makes tight turn and goes back other way and passes to F1.

Key Teaching Points

Forwards pivot and face passer.

Accelerate with puck and after pass for return pass.

D1, after pass to forward, takes 3-4 good strides up the floor (like he is jumping into the rush) before returning to go the other way.

Variations

• Have defense jump into play after second pass for a delay pass from F1.
