Coachella Valley Head Coach Derek Laxdal drops in to share a simple but effective half ice breakout to get your players warm by moving their feet and the puck. 

Description

  • Players are at centre ice, teams run on opposite sides
  • Coach spots a puck in the zone, players track into the D-zone in layers
  • Run different breakouts like goalie handles, reverses, etc.
  • Pass to coach after breakout, and coach spots the puck again
  • Run four times, four breakouts

Key Points

  • Helpful for pregame or pre-practice warmups
  • Create habits by running routes and executing on passes
