Featured Hockey Drill

Defensive 4 vs. 2 Down Low

This hockey drill focuses on defense down low in your own zone.  At the same time it allows offensive players to work on getting open in front of the net.  Two players (P1 & P2) are set up behind the net with pucks.  Two forwards and two defense are in front of the net.  The playing area is from goal line to the face off dots.  On the whistle, F1 and F2 try to get open to receive a pass from P1 or P2.  P1 and P2 are passing the puck back and forth.  The defense have to make sure they are covering their player in front of the net while trying to know where the puck is at all times.  The defense should have their heels to the net at all times so they are able to stay with the player they are covering.  If they turn their back to the forwards and look at the puck then it is easy to lose their player.  They should constantly be turning their head to check where the puck is without losing their man in front. After a puck is passed to the front, P1 and P2 get another puck and start passing a new puck right away.  Each repetition should consist of 3 to 5 pucks.

This power play system starts in a typical overlaod set up.  The idea is to move the puck quickly and provide options to each player that has the puck. The player with the best shot or scoring touch should be P5 and in this case P5 is right handed.  The best play-maker in the group should be P4.  The animation will explain the progression of the options as the players move the puck around.

Ice Hockey Drill

This defensive zone hockey drill simulates a situation that always causes problems in the defensive zone.  As the puck goes from one side of the net to the other behind the goal line, it is a good habit for the defender in front of the net to stay there until the other defender comes to relieve them.  Many times defenders are too quick to release and it leaves the opponents wide open in front of the net.
