DRILLS AND PRACTICE PLANS

Chalk Talk: 21 42 V Reds



Join new Moncton Wildcats Head Coach Gardiner MacDougall to learn this combo 2on1, 1on1, 3on1, and be ready to get involved. 

Description:

  • Two forwards cross and drop in the middle and play 2on1 vs a D
  • Coach blows the whistle to start a short 1on1, centre vs another coach who provides pressure
  • The forwards who played the 2on1 set up in offensive zone play positions - one net front and one in the slot or strong side dot lane
  • The centre and forwards play a quick 3on1 vs. the original D
  • After the 3on1, the coach who provides pressure spots a puck in the corner, the D collects and breaks out the forwards
  • Two new D pop into the neutral zone to play a 4on2
  • After the 4on2, coach spots a puck for a new D to shoot with the 3 forwards in offensive zone positions
  • Drill starts again - 2 forwards cross to play a 2on1 vs a new D, but one forward from the precious rep has is a backchecker

Key Teaching Points:

  • Use escapes and scanning in the short 3on1
  • Speed through the neutral zone
  • Isolate one defenceman on the 4on2 rush
  • Communicate!
