This is an ice hockey drill intended to help defense work on their gap control.  The defensive player starts without the puck skating backwards.  They receive a pass from the next defensive player in line and pivot forwards as they go around the cone.  They give the puck back to the player they received the pass from and then get it back one more time before going around the cones again.  This time they skate with the puck towards center ice and give a pass to the forward who is just inside the blue line.  The forward cannot start until they receive the pass.  The defense has to time their pivot so that their gap will allow them to make a play at or before the blue line.
