D One Timer/Slap Pass Option allows defencemen to work on generating different kinds of offence.

Featured in the 2022 Global Skills Showcase, this drill from Brendan Taylor helps develop a defenceman’s skill set.

Description

C1: D glides into the zone above the face off circle, pivots to open up for a pass from the coach for a one timer shot. Lots of repetition.

C2: D glides into position above the circle, pivots into position for a one timer but fakes the shot and slap-passes through the box to D2 who has moved into position for a one timer.

Key Points

• Hit the net! No points for the loudest shot.
• Smooth feet and get your body angle correct to shoot the puck quickly. -Work on making solid contact on the shot.
