Criss Cross Drop Passing

Get Full Access

Criss cross drop passes can be used all over the ice and they are a great way to cause confusion for defenders.  This is a good drill to work on positioning and execution on cross drop passes.

Setup

  • Need 3 Barriers set up
  • Player X passes to Player O
  • Both players skate between the first two barriers and execute a criss cross drop pass
  • They do the same between barriers 2 and 3
  • Player X drives the net and player O passes

COACHING POINTS

  • Players should make sharp turns so they are moving horizontally across the ice when making the drop pass.
  • Drop pass should be to Players forehand.
  • Make sure the player without the puck drives to the net hard
