Ice Hockey Drills

This drill simulates a good neutral zone play for 5 on 5 and 5 on 4 situations.  The  drill starts when D1 skates backwards to the middle of the ice and receives a pass from D2.  At the same time F1 skates to the far blue line, stops, then regroups back to the red line and times their break to receive a pass from F2 while they are skating full speed into the zone.  D1 transitions with the puck and makes a hard pass to F2 who has found space near center ice.
