1v1, 2v1, 2v2 Sealing Off and Low Battle helps players work on their checking skills in a game like situation.

Featured in the 2022 Global Skills Showcase, this drill from Alyssa Gagliardi teaches proper checking technique.

Description

F3 starts play by rimming puck down the wall to F1. F1 skates up the wall protecting the puck from defender D2. Coach can now send in just F3 to create a 2v1 or can send both F3 and F4 to create a 2v2 situation. D2 must quickly read the play and defend accordingly.

Key Points

• Checkers should angle puck carrier towards the wall with one hand on their stick, trying to get their inside shoulder.
