KTP's - first pass in stride, receive in stride with stick up ice. Defender pivots heels first to keep a tight turning radius, focus on defending with stick on puck. 

  • switch pucks to other side, focus on puck protection for attacking player
  • use a gate to skate through rather than a net to encourage attacker to try to beat defender 1v1
