After watching Buffalo rookie development camp, took the start of one of their drills and incorporated an additional step to use for our youth players. This drill starts with a 2-on-1 out of the corner (we stress quick attack to the net) and the second part forces the Dman make a quick-up pass and then defend again (potentially stimulating a turnover at blueline).

This is a 2-on-1 drill that turns into a 1-on-1. We use this drill to teach 10u/12u Dmen to be comfortable with the principles of surfing (no backward skating defending).

We use this drill during shared ice practices. This drill allows us to incorporate a quick 2-on-1 attack and teach our habits of the reload to a 3-on-2 off a rimmed puck.
