Red Wing 2 V 1 With Backchecker

By: Brock University

Red Wing 2 V 1 With Backchecker from TJ Manastersky, the Head Coach of Brock University, is a drill that practices 2 v 1 rushes with pressure from a backchecker.

Setup

• 2 offensive players line up on the hashmarks. The defender is at the top of the circle, and the backchecker is at the bottom of the circle.
• On the whistle, both sides start a 2 v 1 with a backchecker.
• Stay on your side of the ice until center ice red line.
• Drill is continuous. 

Coaching Points

• Defense: D and backchecking forward need to communicate.
• Forwards: Get up ice quickly and look at opportunity to shoot quick after a pass.
