Defencemen focus on smooth feet and hands during pivots.
This is an excellent drill to work quick counter neutral zone passing. Dmen focus on smooth pivots, stepping up before passing and tape to tape passing. Forwards focus on smooth pivots, keeping their eyes on the passer and keeping their sticks on the ice to present a target for the passer.
Description
D13 steps up, pivots backwards and exchanges passes with F1. He then cuts across the ice to do the same with F4. After their shots, F1 and F4 move into screen/rebound positions for D13 shot from the blue line.
Key Points
- Smooth feet and hands in the pivots.
- Players should always pivot in a way to keep their eyes on the puck.
