1v1 Mirror Double Loop encourages players to "gap up" and put themselves in the right position so that they can practice proper checking technique.

Featured in the 2022 Global Skills Showcase, this drill from Danny Heath helps develop proper angling technique.

Description

Place a net sideways against the end boards. P1 and P2 start on the whistle, skating complete loops around the rink dividers. P1 tries to drive to the net as P2 tries to angle P1 to wall.

Key Points

• Cones or tires can be substituted for the rink dividers.
• Checker get on the inside shoulder of the attacker, stick on the ice in the passing lane.
• Try to separate attacker from the puck by getting body and stick into the puck carrier, placing your body and stick between the puck and the puck carrierˋs body.
