Get your players focused on net drives and finding open space with these two drills?

In this week’s edition of On the Board with Mike Johnston, the Winterhawks GM & head coach breaks down a drill to get your players driving the net and a competitive half-ice game that emphasizes finding open space.

Every week, we’ll be releasing two drills, as Johnston provides insight on how to best implement them into your practice.

Drill 7: Victoria Drive Drill

“You have to drive the net hard through the middle, look for the rebound, play it, and continue the drill up over the dots.”

Drill 8: Box Game

“This is a competitive game that works your offensive group and defensive group.”
