Mirror Shoot Out

This type of shootout maintains some sort of urgency in a breakout situation. It is also a great hockey drill for agility and quickness. The drill can be set up in a half ice situation as shown above or in a full ice situation. One offensive player and one defensive player start the drill facing each other about 2 stick lengths apart. The offensive player is facing the coach and the defensive player has their back to the coach. Two cones can be placed about 15 feet apart as a guide to how far the offensive player is allowed to shift back and forth.
