Corner 1v1 With Bumpers helps players get to open space and shoot the puck quickly to create scoring chances.

Featured in the 2022 Global Skills Showcase, this hockey drill from Pete Kamman works on catch and release shooting in a confined area.

Description

In a quarter ice confined area, Coach starts 1v1 play by dumping a puck off of the wall. Players battle 1v1 with two support bumpers in the corners. Players can use either bumper. Shooting can only be done directly after a pass from a bumper to encourage quick « catch and release » shooting.

Key Points

• Catch and release shooting only.
• If the puck goes out of the playing area, coach chips in a new one.
• Work offensive and defensive positioning.
• After 20-30 seconds, or on a goal, switch in new players.
