How it Works

  1. Coach blows whistle or says, “Go.”
  2. Players skate with their pucks to the neutral zone where they stickhandle in all directions.
  3. Coach blows whistle and players skate to the opposite goal line from where they started while stickhandling.
  4. Run the drill for 3-5 reps.

Coaching Tips

  • In the neutral zone, players must have their eyes up to avoid collisions.
