Continuous One Touch Shooting Drill
This is a good half ice hockey drill that works on one-touch passing, transitions, quick shots, and following shots to the net. To set up the drill place one player along the goal line in-line with the dots. Place two lines just inside the blue line also in-line with the dots, these two lines have the pucks. The first player (Player 1) in line will make a pass to the player on the goal line (Player 2) and skate directly at them. The two players on-touch the puck back and forth as many times as possible. Once Player 1 gets below the dot they transition towards the wall and facing Player 2. The players continue to one-touch the puck as Player 1 skates up the wall, around the top of the circle, and into the slot. When Player 1 receives the puck in the slot they take a quick shot and follow their shot to the net. After the last pass Player 2 will also go to the net looking for a rebound. Player 1 then continues to the other side along the goal line and becomes Player 2 as the drill now starts from the other side. The original Player 2 now goes to the end of the line.
Coaching Points
- Players should make flat passes with soft hands.
- Slapping the puck results in in-accurate passes and wobly pucks.
- Players should transition while facing the puck at all times.
- Receive and shoot in one motion when in the slot.
- Make sure both players follow shots to the net.
Tigers Half Ice Shooting Drill
This is a great shooting half ice drill with a lot of good skill elements for defense, forwards, and goalies. It is also a useful drill for half ice situations / pratices. To set up place a line of defense in the middle of the ice at the blue line and a line of forwards at each face off dot as shown in the diagram.
The drill starts with D1 taking a shot from the point and following it to the net for a rebound. After they stop at the net they continue to the corner to get a puck and carry the puck back around the net. While they are picking up the puck F1 curls towards the boards and gets in position to receive a breakout pass from D1. Once they receive the pass they curl into the slot behind the line of fowards and take a shot on net. F1 follows their shot for a rebound and then returns to the end of the line. D1 continues the drill by picking up another puck from the other corner and carrying it around the net to make another outlet pass to F2. F2 does the same thing as F1 on the other side. After D1 makes the second pass they continue to the corner one more time to retrieve a third puck. This time they make a pass out to the blue line to the next defense who starts the drill over again.
Eagles Half Ice 1 on 1
Great half ice drill here! It incorporates passing, shooting, moving your feet, breakout timing, gap control, and 1 on1. The forwards all line up in the corner without pucks. The defense line up just inside the forwards with the pucks as shown in the diagram. To start the drill F1 skates up along the boards and receives a pass from D1. F1 receives the pass, skates around the circle and takes a shot on net. F1 transitions around the bottom of the other circle so they are always facing the play. After F1's shot, D1 takes a puck and skates around the net to give F1 a breakout pass. F1 receives the breakout pass and skates up near center ice and around the cone or tire closest to the red line. D1 follows the play and tranistions around the cone closest to the blue line to play F1 in a 1 on 1 back towards the net.
