Work your breakouts under pressure and create traffic on the attack.

Featured in the 2022 TCS Live Drill Book, this drill from Rögle BK head coach Cam Abbott is a great way to work your breakouts under pressure and create traffic on the attack.

Description

D1 steps up, pivots backwards to retrieve chipped puck from Coach. D1 then makes quick rim to F1, who is high on the wall and getting pinch pressure from D2. F1 chips puck out past D2 to F2, who is cutting across the zone to support F1. F2 picks up puck, drives it deep below the hash marks, curls and hits F1 coming late. F1 shoots then picks up 2nd puck for low to high pass to D2. After pinch, D2 follows play to blueline, gets low to high 2nd puck pass. After curl and pass, F2 goes to net to screen D2 shot. Drill can run both ways at the same time.

Key Points

• Good timing by wall winger and support winger.
• Correct pace on rim by D so puck gets to winger before D pinch and winger can take pass or chip out.
• Bank Low to High pass off wall past coach.
• Good low shot from D with good screen technique by forward in front.
