Join Calgary Flames Assistant Coach Cail MacLean for a defending/attacking drill called the Turn and Burn, designed to push offensive creativity (bit of a hidden bagger too!).

Description

• Forwards start at each blue line, D start in the middle, one coach at centre ice and one in zone.
• On whistle, first three forwards leave from one line and skate around coach, coach spots puck anywhere.
• D have to stay on blue line until coach spots puck.
• Forwards pick up puck and attack 3 on 2.
• Part 2. Whistle blows, low coach skates with puck into neutral zone, original forwards track coach and strip puck.
• Two D who handled the rush gap up and work to puck, forwards attack original D for second 3 on 2.

Key Points

• Forwards: get puck off wall, scan ice before retrieval, mid-lane drive.
• Defence: trust your feet! Gap up to keep forwards honest and protect the blue line.
