This drill is all encompassing as it touches on many details. The goalie gets to work on shots through a net front screen, F's get to work on taking goalies eyes away at the net front as well as rush/zone entry concepts.

The D get to work on box outs, quick D2D point shots, the WSD surfing across ending plays in the NZ. Transitioning from Defense to offense with the D joining the rush as well off the NZ transition.

Description:

F passes to D then gets to the net

D goes D2D at point for a shot

NFD boxes out F coming out of the corner. He is NOT playing low 2v1 

F is in front of net setting screen working on taking the goalies eyes away
