Use Ben Cooper's Four Person Breakout Drill at the start of practice to get your players moving the puck quickly and efficiently!

Description

• Two D and two forwards on both sides of the centre ice circle
• Coach spots puck beside net, D sprints back to retrieve
• Second D collects reverse pass behind net and wheels behind net
• Forwards swing low for breakout pass
• Forwards collect puck and break out, enter zone, and shoot
• D who makes original pass joins forwards on rush
• After initial shot, original D collects low to high pass second puck and shoots with one player in front, one player available for shot pass

Key Points

• D - shoulder check, take a snapshot
• Feet face away from path of puck: deception
• Middle forward swings low and slow, scrape the crease
