This is a skating drill that works on forward to backwards transitions, backwards to forwards pivots, and retrieving pucks out of the corner.  To start the drill the player skates forward out around the cone and transitions backwards.  At the second cone the player pivots towards the corner to retrieve a puck.  The players should open up their hips and avoid crossing over as they pivot.  Once they retrieve a puck then they keep their feet moving out of the corner, attack the slot from the half wall, and take a shot.

If you have a goalie then you can stagger the  players so that the shots are spaced out enough for the goalies to recover.  If you do not have a goalie then you can turn it into a race.  The first player to shoot their puck into the net wins.  The only rule is that the players have to shoot the puck inside the cones (dots).
