Purpose

Players form two lines – one at each goal line.

Setup

  • Players form two lines – one at each goal line.

How it Works

  1. Coach blows whistle.
  2. First player in each line skates forward toward each other. One player has a puck, one does not.
  3. They meet in the neutral zone and the player with the puck gives it to the player without a puck.
  4. They continue skating forward to the opposite line.
  5. Player with puck gives it to next player in line and next two players go.
  6. Run drill for 5-8 minutes.

Coaching Tips

  • As players get better you can give both players a puck and they exchange them when they meet in the neutral zone.
  • As players improve even more, you can have players exchange pucks by passing.
