Get the hands warmed up and your players passing the puck flat with this warmup drill from Hockey Calgary's Director of Hockey Operations Jamie Henry!

Description

• Players set up in 4 lines in a square
• One player skates straight across to the far line, receives a pass from the line on the left on the way, and passes to the first player in the line straight ahead
• After the player to theleft makes the pass, they start to skate and receive another pass from their left
• Drill is continous
• Progress to receive passes on the backhand, one touches, or receiving on the backhand and passing on the forehand

Key Points

• Players need to scan the ice before they receive the pass
• Get the eyes up to see the target in the next line
• Start slow! Don't race out of the line, take your time, get the passing and timing down, and then add speed
