Help your defencemen recover and warm-up your ozone play with these two drills.

On the Board with Mike Johnston is back with two new drills to help your defencemen recover from defensive zone breakdowns and warm-up your offensive zone plays.

Every week, we’ll be releasing two drills, as Johnston provides insight on how to best implement them into your practice.

Drill 9: 2 on 1 Breakdown

“I really like this drill because it teaches your defencemen how to play breakdowns in the defensive zone.”

Drill 10: Offensive Zone Resets

“You’re going through your offensive zone plays, making it difficult on the opponent to cover you defensively.”
