D Bad Pass/Shoot helps defensemen work on their blue line skills by challenging them with difficult pucks to control.

Featured in the 2022 Global Skills Showcase, this drill from Ilia Khanenko allows players to work on defence puck movement skills.

Description

Dmen in corner try get puck out against D up on blue line. High D traps puck and passes across to wide D for shot. After each shot, D rotate positions. Switch sides after 3-4 shots by each D.

Key Points

• Work on trap technique against bouncing pucks or high flips
• After trapping puck, settle puck flat on ice before sliding pass to next D
• Move towards next D while executing pass
