The Triangle Passing Progression with 3 Players from Darryl Belfry is from his practice plan, Parallel Teaching Structure - Passing Between Two Checks and One Touch Passing. This progression allows players to work on a variety of passing fundamentals.
Setup
- Have players split up into groups of 3. This can be set up in any area of the ice.
- Each player should have a puck.
- Progression 1: the group of 3 one touches a puck around to each other.
- Progression 2: the group of 3 one touches a puck to each other but they work on the pass being quiet and smooth.
- Progression 4: the group of 3 works on one touch passes with 2 pucks.
- Progression 4: the group of 3 works on one touch passes with 3 pucks.
Coaching Points
- Players should keep their sticks on the ice to let players know where they want the puck.
- Players should make sure to pass to each others forehand to set up their partner to have an easy one touch pass.
Variations
- Can be set up in all areas of the ice.
- Can practice different passing techniques with this setup.
