D to D drill with transition. P1 starts across ice and receives pass from P2. P1 swings around D1 and passes to D2. D2 then makes cross ice pass to D1 who starts skating with puck and makes lead pass to P1 and joins the rush. D1’s spot is filled by next D. This drill is run from both sides at same time. As P1 starts out skating to receive pass, P3 also starts at same time and receives pass from P4. Players then alternate each time.

This drill teaches the need for firm passes, leading the player with the pass, quick feet and defence joining the play.
