Looking for an inner slot goal scoring skill development drill for your players that also works on your goalie’s reflexes and instincts? Richard Bachman, goalie coach for the Iowa Wild, has you covered.

Description

• Start with a player in the slot with pucks on both sides outside the hashmarks and one behind the net and the goalie standing in ready position
• The player faces the goalie and shoots one of the pucks in the hashmarks, then the other puck
• After the second shot the player retrieves the puck behind the net for a jam or wrap play
• Stay on the third puck until it’s in the net, frozen, or cleared
• The next variation starts with the player facing away from the goalie, while the goalie starts on their knees on the ice

Key Points

• Move as quick as you can between shots (goalies and players)
