Great warm up drill for large numbers of players. Nice drill to start your practice with.
Description
Two teams line up on opposite blue lines. Start with 5 players from one side who move into the middle zone stickhandling in a random pattern. After 10 seconds, forwards skate forwards into the opposite zone for shots as defensemen go back towards the other zone for shots. The coach starts the second line of players 5 seconds after the first group so that 10 players are skating randomly in the middle. The coach starts the next line every 10 seconds so both sides alternate.
Key Points
- Heads up skating and stick handling.
- Warm-up for goalie so start with long shots.
