Quarter Ice Angle 1 vs 1

By: Ice Hockey Systems

This is a station drill that only uses 1/4 of the ice surface so it is great for station based or ADM practices. It is a simple drill but teaches players about how to angle properly. The offensive players will start with a puck and slalom through the cones and then try to attack the net. The defensive player will go around the cone and try to time it so that they are able to angle the offensive player to the boards.

Coaching Points

• The defender should keep stick on the ice on the ice at all times.
• The defender should use stick position and proper angle to discourage offensive player from cutting back to middle of the ice.
• The defender should match the speed of the player they are chasing and check their hands into the wall.
