Long time friend of TCS Brandon Naurato is back with a net front / offensive zone skills drill. This drill is essentially a 2 on 2 competition that turns into a 4 on 2 depending on who has the puck.

Description

  • Start with an extra net on the left half wall surrounded with an imaginary line - same line around the net in the crease
  • Team 1 starts with a player on the blue line and in front of the normal net
  • Team 2 starts opposite with players cross-ice
  • Each team has two players in the slot: total of 3 on 3
  • When play starts, net front players have to stay inside line in front of net

Key Points

  • Start with communication with and without the puck: support with outlets and words!
  • Move the puck quick, play fast
