Pass and Go is a great drill to introduce passing while moving. Encourage players to use their side puck handle before passing.
Description
Coach draws lines on the ice to designate starting point for the players and places 2 cones in front of the line and a cone near the top of the circle.
Players line up in the corner.
First player skates with a puck and then passes to the coach.
Player keeps skating until they get to the second then they pivot backwards to the middle of the ice. Proceeding to skate backwards to the third cone.
Once past the third cone the coach passes the puck back and the player skates to the net to shoot.
Once a player is past the third cone the next player may go.
Key Points
Ensure players use proper passing technique: Using heel of stick, push and pull with hands, follow through with bottom hand.
Back of shoulders should lead the pivot towards the cone and the direction of the movement while backwards.
Encourage the players to receive the puck on the goal side of their body.
Do drill in both directions.
