2 on 1 – Full Rink
Drill:
- 2 Forwards start at each blue line
- 1 D starts on the goal line at the wall
- Place a puck behind the net
- On the whistle, the 2 forwards skate down toward the circles and curl up the rink looking back
- The D retrieves the puck and hits one of the 2 F with a breakout pass
- The F skate up their side of the ice trying to score on a 2 -1
- The D skates hard to the Blue line (on the opposite side of the rink) and then gets in good D position to defend the 2 F coming up ice
Focus:
- F need to focus on first helping out the D and setting up in a ‘break-out’ mode
- F should also work on good passing and puck movement to score
- F should read the play and know when to shoot or pass in the Offensive zone
- D should focus on a good outlet pass to start the play
- D hustles to get in a good Defensive position
- D should work on gap control
- D should also work on closing the lane and allowing the Goalie to take the shooter
Notes:
Goalies can be used in this as well. Allow them to come behind the net and move the puck.
