Too often, coaches create shooting drills that encourage players to make a perfect pass so that a player can get off a perfect shot.

However, the game of hockey is far from that. The game of hockey is made up of broken plays and quick reactions. This video shows two setups that force players to get imperfect passes and quickly react to get the puck to the net!

Great things happen when the puck goes to the net. A quick shot on net can surprise the goalie or help generate a big juicy rebound that can be put into the back of the net!

From Coach Boatright

I like this drill because it prioritizes quickness over strength and placement. Many times in scrambles in front of the net, you need to find the puck and release as quick as possible. Could help for rebound goals.
