This drill requires 1 puck. Try to encourage players to one-time the passes, although they may need to develop their passing skills before they can do it. Timing is everything, because it they get too far ahead then the drill starts to break down.
This ice hockey drill is a good quick warm up drill. Challenge your players to make all one-time passes and get the shot off just inside the blue line. As always make sure players drive to the net. Don't spend too much time on this drill becuase it can get repetitious and boring fast.
Similar to the Flim Flom drill except this drill incorporates four one touch passes as the player circles the ice.The keys to the drill are: accurate passes, keep feet moving, and follow shots to the net.
This type of warm up drill can be used for pre-game warm up or a good half-ice drill at practice. The forward starts the drill by skating into the slot and receiving a pass from the defense in the corner. After the shot, the defense carries a puck around the net and passes to the same forward who has timed their curl to receive a flat pass from the defense. After receiving the pass, the forward skates outside the blue line and gives a pass to the second player in line. The forward then receives a pass back and attacks the defense 1 on 1. There are several important keys to this drill: (1) Forwards need to time their curl so they receive a flat pass from the defense (2)Defense need to skate around the net and stay inside the dots as they turn up ice and deliver the pass (3) Once they give the pass to the forward, the defense neded to get their feet outside the blue line.

This Warm Up Ice Hockey drill is another variation of the other 4 Lines Drills. The same principles apply, it is most important for players to pay attenttion so they know where to pass the puck to and where to receive a pass from. In this variation, players receiving the pass in neutral ice need to attack the blue line with speed and shoot with their feet moving.
This ice hockey drill is a good warm up drill for players and goalies. One player in the corner passes to a player of their choice. The player who receives the pass passes to any other player except for a player right next to them. Quick passes and quick shots are the goal in this drill. After five reps switch it up so a new player is making the passes and either switch goalies or give the goalie a little breather.
This ice hockey drill will add some variety to your warm up routine. The animation shows the basic variation of this drill. One way to increase the demand on the players attention span is to have them read and react to the first pass. The coach will point to one side as the players approach and pass to that side. The players then have to react and still time the play correctly. This will require extra pucks on both sides of the ice as well.
This is a great drill that incorporates passing, shooting, and paying attention. This version is the half-ice version, however, there is a full ice version as well. D1 starts the drill by carrying the puck around the net and making a pass to F1. F1 gives the puck right back to D1 and D2 performes another give & go with F2. After passing to D1, F1 and F2 go to the net and receive a pass from D2. D2 needs to pay attention as they will be making two passes. As D1 circles through center ice and comes back into the zone, they make a pass to the last player in line, in this case it is D3. D1 receives the puck back from D3 and takes a shot from the high slot.
