Ice Hockey Drills

This drill works on pivoting and can be useful as a half-ice warm up.  Set up the drill with two lines in the high slot as shown in the diagram.  A coach or dedicated passer should have all the pucks between the two lines in the high slot as well. You can use two cones placed on the neutral zone face off dots or just use the face off dots as visual markers. The first player takes a few quick, hard strides out to the cone and pivots backwards around the cone so they are always facing the passer.
