From the Cranbrook Bucks, Kootenay Hockey Academy, and TCS's own, Kelvin Cech is here to harp on breakout habits specific to game day skates.
Description
- Players start from centre ice, two D and three forwards
- Coach dumps puck into zone, D break out forwards who pass puck back to coach
- Coach dumps new puck while two forwards from previous rep forecheck the next unit of 5
- Drill is continuous
Key Points
- The drill happens fast, so players need to be organized in their colours in line
- Centres need to track hard through the house and communicate with the D
- Wingers need to make the next play once the puck is on their stick
