2 on 1

To start this drill, the defensive player starts on their knees with their back to the forwards.  On the whistle, the coach passes the puck to either forward and they then take on the defense 2 on 1.

This is a good 2 on 1 drill for defense.  To set up, place all pucks in the corner with the forwards and get all defense at center ice.  On the whistle, D1 skates hard to the blue line and receives a pass from F1.  D1 walks the puck to the middle and shoots on net.  F1 and F2 then skate around the net and receive a pass form the next forward in line.  F1 and F2 then take on D1 in a 2 on 1 situation.

This drill is builds off of the previous neutral zone timing drill by incorporating a 2 on 1.  To start the drill, D1 and D2 step out as shown int he diagram. They should be spaced  about a zone apart (red line to blue line).  D1 is skating backwards and D2 skates forward until they give a pass to D1.

This drill is a variation of the previous drill, the Ring Around 1 on 1.  F1 starts the play by passing to D2.  D2 makes a pass to D1 and D1 takes a shot on net from the blue line.  After F1 makes the pass, they ring the puck around the boards to F2.This time, F1 joins the play and receives the pass off the boards from F2.   F1 and F2 then attack D1 in a 2 on 1 full ice situation.

The focus of this drill is to develop good habits when going to the net and backchecking.  The forwards need to focus on moving their feet, skating hard to the net, and stopping at the net.  The drill starts on the whistle.  D1 skates up to the red line and pivots backwards.  F1 & F2 wait till D1 hits the red line then swing out along the blue line and then face up the ice to receive a pass from the coach.  The coach will make a pass to either F1 or F2.  F3 is the ba
