Squirt Based drill, but could be used at other levels to move pucks and work on smooth handling. 

Crossover lane: players are using the numbers on the ice 123, 123, 123 to carry the puck and crossover 3 times to each side as they work from goal line to far blue line.

Alternating Dots: players should work to keep their bodies in the middle of the dots and move the puck from side to side, working to get the puck to touch each dot as they move. Speed is not a necessity here. 

Arches: Skater is asked to keep body in a straight line through the middle of the arches. The puck should be moved around the body in a arch pattern side-to-side. Players are encouraged to get the puck from one pocket to the other and back. Speed is not a necessity on this lane.
