Weekly Drill: Player 1 skate across ice and turn up towards player 2 in far group. Player 2 passes to player 1 who then makes quick touch pass back to player 2. Player 1 then transitions with pivot (keeping eyes on player with puck at all times) and sprints towards far net. Player hits player 1 with pass making sure to lead player 1 with the pass. Player 1 then skates in on goalie, head up picking spot, shoots and stops for rebound. Alternate from both sides. This drill teaches passing, skating pivots and acceleration, shooting and is good for conditioning if run at top speed.

Once the skill progresses, the addition of a defencemen for one on one drills takes this drill to the next level.
