In this edition of Chalk Talk Andrew DeCasperis of Avon Old Farms shares Avon 2 on 1. This drill gets right into the action, it's simple and has a lot of opportunities for teachable moments. There are a lot of progressions you can run as well, including the Avon 3 on 2. Coach and develop your own spin on it!

Description:

• Run out of both ends, D and forwards start on opposite blue lines
• Forward step out with puck and pass to D, D pivots backwards, forward gathers ice and receives pass from D
• Forward passes to next forward at far blue line and regroups to play 2 on 1 vs original D
• Add a second forward and D to run the Avon 3 on 2

Key Teaching Points:

• D: once you make your pass, take three hard strides and get up ice
• Forward: catch pucks on backhand after flipping hips
