Purpose
Players practice three different types of shots. Goalies get practice defending shots on goal.Setup
How it Works
- When the coach blows the whistle, players from both lines break toward the net.
- The coaches pass the pucks to the players who try to deke the goalie and score.
- After shooting, the players continue their momentum around the net and then break across the ice again, receive a pass, and take a quick wrist shot.
- After the wrist shot the player will stop and the coach will drop a puck in front of the net like a rebound and the goalie and the player will see who gets to it first.
- Run the drill so each player gets 3-5 reps.
Coaching Tips
- On the wrist shot, the player should slide their hand about halfway down the shaft of their stick. They should position their body at a 45-degree angle to the goal. They should bring the puck behind or even with their back leg They then sweep the puck forward and rotate their wrists to shoot.
