Side Middle Side

Players line up at all 4 neutral zone face-off circles with pucks.

  • Progression 1: on the whistle, a player with a puck starts out and passes down the side of the ice, after that, the player passes through the middle of the ice, and they continue to follow the side - middle - side passing flow.
  • After players get the movement down, add more pucks so both sides are skating at the same time, which forces players to keep their heads up.
  • Progression 2: have players in line start moving before they receive the puck. This forces the player with the puck to lead the player in the direction they are skating.
