This is an ice hockey drill that focuses on several areas for both forwards and defense.  Forwards need to work on their timing, passing, and driving to the net.  Defensive players need to focus on passing, puck handling (in the neutral zone), and shooting (low and on net).  The first two forwards in the line start without a puck.  The third forward in line passes to the defense as they get near the red line.  The defense controls the puck and skates backwards.  The defense needs to time their pivot so they start moving forward as the forwards are turning up ice.  The defense can pass to either forward. The forwards need to time their routes so that they can receive a flat pass as they have speed attacking the blue line. The forward that does not receive the pass needs to drive to the net with their stick on the ice and look for a pass from the other forward.  Once the original play is over, both forwards camp in front of the net and wait for the shot from the defense.
