A good drill to work on special teams play. Offensive players must constantly work to get open, as defenders work on angling and defensive stick skills.

Description

Coach starts with a pass to the 3 defenders who make a quick attack. After the 6 attackers recover the puck, they must make 10 passes in a row before they can attack either net. The 3 defenders make pressure on the puck all the time.

Key Points

• Defenders pressure puck with hard skating and active sticks trying to take away passing lanes.
• If the Defenders get the puck back before the 10 passes they get a point plus another scoring chance.
• Attackers get one point for 10 successful passes and each group gets a point for each goal scored.
• Coach whistles change and all players sprint to the far blue line as new players replace them.
