6 Pass Shooting Drill

By: Ice Hockey Systems

This is a half ice hockey drill that is ideal when working with a few players. It is not great when you have lots of players becuase it results in a lot of standing around. There are six passes involved with each repetition before the shot. The drill includes a lot of good fundaments that include:

• one-touch passing
• pivots
• handling the puck backwards
• creating passing angles
• receiving and shooting from high in the zone

Coaching Points:

• Keep feet moving (even when you shoot)!
• Give a target to receive a pass.
• Work on one-touch passing.
• The player in the corner should open up when making the "breakout pass." Don't just fire it straight up the boards.
• Call for the puck!
