This is the 2nd in a series of drills that provides a shooting progression that works on getting shots on net around traffic.
SET UP:
Goalie or obstruction in net.
Passers in each face off circle, with pucks. Can be pushed further out to make longer passes and more ice, or closer in to cause more awareness and sharper moves.
Cones to mark the starting point at the top of the slot, and act as an obstacle - with pucks.
RUN IT:
1(BLACK) the skater pulls the puck around the obstacle, and stops center slot, turns, returns to the goalies right taking the shot once they have entered the face off circle.
2 (BLUE) skater immediately accepts a pass from Right Face Off Passer, and pushes around the obstacle to the goalies Left, shooting from the face-off circle.
3 (RED) skater takes a pass from Left Face Off Passer, skates high and stops in the slot turns, skates back into the left side and shoots from the inside of the face off circle.
This drill should be done slowly at first, to get the shooters progression set, then sped up to 80% speed.
Next we will move onto the 3rd in this series, Push and Pull through the traffic #3
