Swedish Shooting Drill
Free Ice Hockey Drills

This 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.

Double Attack from Corner

This drill is great for goalies and fun for forwards. It requires goalies to start facing the coach who is located in the slot. The coach can pass to either player coming out of the corner. The players have to stay within a stick's length of the goal line. Typically there will be one pass with a one time shot, but if players catch the goalie cheating can try to shoot short side, or sometimes players can make 2 passes to really challenge the goalie.

This ice hockey drill is also a great Warm-Up drill. Again the key is to get players feet moving while receiving and releasing a shot as quick as possible. An interesting variety to this drill is to give the player bad passes on purpose to make them adjust and get off a shot.

This drill starts when the forward passes to the defense at the blue line. The defense walks the puck to the middle of the ice and shoots. The forward then takes of and receives a pass from the opposite corner and attacks the defense on a full ice 1 on 1. Encourage forwards to keep their feet moving and have the defense strive to stand up and make the play at the Blue Line.
