This drill is a great half ice drill to work on receiving passes off the wall and getting control of the puck while moving.  It can be good for defensemen and wingers / center.

SET IT UP:

• Line up the initial players according to the drawing and if you are using 1 or 2 goals.
• Set tires on the face off dots as determined, so the players know when to make their turns.  
• A player for each line will be at the blue line (2 goals) or at one of the face off circles (single goal).
• A goalie will be in the nets

RUN IT:

• The puck position will rim the puck behind the net, and up the wall to the next player.
• The puck passer will breakout to get the pass from the receiver. (2 goals) 
• The receiver will pass the puck to the player at the faceoff circle (1 goal)
• After the player hands the puck off, they will proceed in getting a pass back, skate around the tire(s), dropping back into the slot and shooting.
• Players will then move up 1 position numerically as seen in the diagram.

NOTES:

• In this drill, handling the puck off the boards is important.  The players must be able to meet the puck along the wall and quickly gain control of it so they can make the quick pass to their teammate coming back out.  
• Keep the eyes scanning the ice at all times.  The pass may be off center or in a way the receiver did not intend, and they must adjust to trap the puck.
