Join Minnesota State University Head Coach Luke Strand to work on your defensive zone coverage in this creative 2 on 4 compete drill.

Description

• Two D start inside the blue line with two forwards starting with the puck outside the blue line
• On the whistle the forwards have to skate through the centre circle while the D gap up
• Two additional forwards skate inside the dots from the far blue line to join the drill
• The first two forwards chip the puck into the drill, the drill becomes a competition
• If the forwards get to the puck first the drill is a d-zone stop or d-zone coverage drill
• If the D get to it first it becomes a breakout drill - that team goes 200 feet for a rush chance

Key Points

• Defenders have to come back to the house into coverage and stop!
