NEHDA Loop N Drive - 4 Part Progression

https://vimeo.com/768367570

NEHDA Loop N Drive from Rob Sedia of NewEdge Hockey is a 4 Part Progression that works on a variety of passing, shooting, timing & transition skills.

Setup (Progression # 1)

Place one net flipped around at top of the slot (as pictured in the diagram)
Players line up inside the blue line, inside the face-off circles
On the whistle, player 2 starts to skate backwards and receives a pass from player 1.
Player 2 skates around the net with their shoulders, heads, and eyes facing up ice so they can see the whole ice in front of them.
Player 2 makes a pass to player 3. Player 3 passes quickly to player 1 while player 2 touches the blue line and drives back into the zone.
Player 1 passes to player 2, who drives the net in the slot, then makes a weight shift move and fires a puck on net.

The coach can use this setup to work on different escapes, and shooting skills. The progressions shown in the video are listed below:

Progression # 1: Loop & drive and perform a weight shift move around the net before shooting.
Progression # 2: Grab the puck & go up ice quickly with a fake slap shot around the net.
Progression # 3: Reverse up & pull the puck to change the shot angle around the net.
Progression # 4: Fake reverse up & shoot the puck with heals towards the boards.

Verbal & Non Verbal Communication: call for the puck and keep your stick on the ice to show your teammate where you want the puck.
Head Up: keep your head and eyes up so you can see the whole ice.
Skating: Get up and down the ice quickly! Being quick is a mindset.
Timing: For the player who is driving to the net, make sure to time your zone entry so you can get a pass back. Do not be too far ahead or behind the play.
Shooting:
- Progression # 1 Weight Shift: Use deception to fake like you are going one way, then shift your weight to explode the other direction.
- Progression # 2 Fake Slap Shot: Use deception to fake a slap shot, then push the puck out wide to change the angle and shoot around a defender & goalie.
- Progression # 3 Change Shot Angle: Pull the puck inside to your skates to change the shot angle.
- Progression # 4 Heals Towards The Boards: Create space from the net / defender by having your heals face the boards, which will pull you away from the center of the ice to create a shooting lane for you.

Add a goalie
Modify - coaches can use this setup to practice a variety of different escapes, and different shots on goal. Change it up based on your teams skill sets.
Coaches can add pressure at different points in the drill so players are forced to keep their head up.
