Quick Cycle Drill

This drill focuses on cycling.  To set up, the coach has the pucks at the blue line in the center of the ice.  Three players go at a time and they should try to go with their linemates.  The drill starts by the coach dumping the puck softly into the corner.  F1 forechecks and picks up the puck on an inside/outside route as shown in the diagram.  F2 follows and provides support for F1 as F1 carries the puck up the wall.  F2 calls for the puck and F1 cycles the puck back into the corner for F2. F2 has two options. They can pass back to F1, look for F3 who is going to the net.  If F1 receives a pass back from F2, then they have the optio to either shoot or give a pass to F3 who is driving to the far post.
