Goal Line Options 1 vs. 0 & 2 vs. 0

This is a goalie drill that requires a minumum of two players.  Place a pile of pucks just inside the face off dots in the high slot.  One of the players should start at about the face off dot.  Place a cone or tire at the bottom of the face off circle. To start the drill the coach passes a puck to the player.  When the player receives the puck they skate around the cone.  The player then has three options.  The first option is to skate out in front of the net for a shot.  The second option is to fake going in front of the net and skating around behind the net for a stuff.  The third option is to do the second option, but give a pass back out in front to the coach as they go behind the net.  This drill gives goalies an opportunity to work on holding their angle and post along the goal line.  They cannot cheat to either, as the player has the option to pass the puck back out in front of the net.

To make it even more difficult, add a second player. Now the puck carrier has the option to pass across the crease to the second player as well.
