3 Man Shooting Warm-Up

By: Nolan Baumgartner

3 Man Shooting from Nolan Baumgartner gets six players involved in each rep and allows them to skate, pass, and shoot at the beginning of practice.

Setup

• Players are divided into each corner with pucks, while coaches stand just inside the blue line with pucks.
• On the whistle both ends start (the diagram above only shows one end).
  • Player 1 skates down the ice with a puck, takes a shot, and curls around the net to get a pass from the coach.
  • Player 2 skates down the ice, acts as a center, and receives a pass from Player 1.
  • Player 3 curls around center ice and gets to the far side of the ice to receive a pass from Player 2.
  • Player 2 and Player 1 skate down the ice to look for a rebound opportunity after Player 3 takes a shot on net.

Coaching Points

• Communicate with your teammates and keep your stick on the ice to show where you want to receive the pass.
• Be aware of your teammates and time your skating and positioning so you are not too far ahead or behind them.
