Perfect your stretch passes and solo drives to the net under pressure.

Submitted by D.C. Everest High School’s Colin Helke in the 2022 TCS Live Drill Book, this drill works on stretch passes and solo drives to the net under pressure.

Description

On whistle, F1 skates with puck and drops it near the top of the circle, then cuts across the blue line for a stretch pass from opposite D1. At the same time, D1 back skates, pivots and picks up the puck before making a stretch pass to F1 from other side. F1 attacks net under pressure from Coach then stops at the net in a rebounding position. D1 now regroups out over the blue line, pivots backwards to pick up next puck dropped near other circle by F2. D1 now looks for opposite F2 cutting at high blue line. F2 times their start with D1 crossing the blue line. F2 now cuts across the blue line for stretch pass before splitting the two coaches near the blue line.

Key Points

• Coaches apply pressure with body and stick positioning. Get sticks and body on players when possible.
• Net Drive. Shoot and stop at the net.
