Check out 2024 TCS Live On-Ice presenter Tyler Dittmer's drill to get your players entering the offensive zone through the middle of the ice!

Description

  • Start by drawing a square on the ice with a bingo dobber
  • Start with two D who are skating with max effort, but they can't leave the square
  • Forwards gap up between red line and blue line and receive pass from coach
  • The puck has to pass through the square before entering the zone

Key Points

  • Teams have a much greater chance of creating offensive chances when they enter the zone between the faceoff dots
  • Quick puck skills and agility make all the difference
  • On the defensive side, defenders will have greater success by calling out who they have and using active sticks
