Drills for Defense
Sunday, 26 April 2009 05:31
defenseThis ice hockey drill is great for defensemen to work on their shots, passing, and pivoting. Each player will get three shots. To start, the defensemen receives a puck from the corner and gains the center of the ice as quickly as possible and shoots from the top of the slot. The player continues around the cones always facing the net. This forces them to pivot and receive the next pass going backwards. When they receive the next pass the player repeats as in the first rep. When the player receives the third pass, they quickly give a pass to their partner who gives a pass back for a one time shot near the top of the slot. The key is to encourage the players to keep the feet and puck moving.

warm upThis ice hockey drill is a great, quick drill that is useful for both players and goalies in warm up. Depending on the skill level of your team, challenge players to make one-time passes and shots. As always, make sure players follow shots and expect rebounds. Make sure goalies have time in between repetitions to get ready. The player beginning with the pass should make eye contact with goalie before making the first pass, this will ensure that drill is not going too fast for the goalie.

GoalieThis drill is a lot of fun for shooters and a challenging one for goalies. The pace of this drill should be as quick as the skill level of your players allows. Ideally all passes are one time passes to get the goalie moving side to side quickly. The excitement of this drill comes from the fact that any of the forward can shoot at any time, the puck does not necessarily need to make its way back to the player that started the drill. Two variations are shown in the animation.

GoalieThis is another good goalie drill that gives goalies a chance to work on their angles and footwork. Select a few forwards to come work with the goalies before or after practice and take lots of reps in this drill. This is actually a good conditioning drill for goalies as well because of the side to side movement. Challenge the shooters to hit the net every time and use one-timers to make it more challenging on the goalies.

GoalieIn this drill, players pass the puck as much as they want. They will try to score when they think the goalie is out of position. The forwards are allowed to shoot or come out from behind the net to try and score. The goalies need to work on their footwork and try to be in position to take on the shot at any time. The goalies should also try to use their stick to block passing lanes to their advantage. Thanks to Paul Todd in England for supplying this drill!

Behind the Net Passes Print E-mail
Drills for Goalies
Friday, 24 April 2009 12:36
GoalieThis is another drill meant to challenge goalies. The forwards come out of the corner with the puck and have the freedom to pass to either player that is stationed near the face off dot. The key for the goalies is to read the player behind the net and once the pass is made they need to make one move to get in a position where they take away the angle of the shooter. The only rule is that the shooters must one-time the shots to help simulate game-like conditions.

GoalieThis ice hockey drill is great for forwards and goalies. The forward in the corner starts with the puck and skates inside the goal line. He has three options: 1. Keep the puck and try to stuff it, 2. Keep the puck and when pass back across the slot to the forward who is timing his break to receive the pass in a position to one-time the puck, 3. Fake the wrap around and pass the puck back to the forward before getting to the other side of the net.

This is also a great ice hockey drill for goalies. It is very difficult but a great way to work on their movement across the crease. They also need to make sure they are holding their ground on the posts.

Drills for Goalies

GoalieThis is a drill that focuses on quickness after the shot. The first shot should be aimed at the far lower corner. The goalie tries to get deflect the initial shot into the far corner. After the save is made, the goalie scrambles to the far post to take on another shot from the player near the post. This player should wait until the goalie has a chance to make the save. Switch sides each time and have the goalie do 4-5 reps before resting.
