Trimble’s Drill of the Week
Regroup 2 on 0 Rush
Simple Drill to improve communication, awareness and basic passing.
- 4 Lines- Pucks in each line
- All players have to be ready and aware as all 4 lines move on the whistle
- Defenseman in Opposite/ Diagonal Corners at each end of the ice. Forwards in Other corners
- Whistle blows to begin the drill (only whistle needed)- Defenseman at each end skate forward and then transition to backwards around the circle with a puck. Forwards each go around top of their circle and shoot on goaltender.
- Players have heads up, skating and forwards call for a puck from the defenseman at each end. Communicate. D passes to Forwards at each end and forward skates with puck through Neutral Zone.
- Forward then passes to D from other side of the ice. Open up and then get the pass back from the D.
- Defenseman then joins the Forward they passed to for a quick 2 on 0.
- Use a specific pattern zone Entry. These include:
- Pass of Pad
- Middle Redirect
- Cut and Drive…. and many more
- Remember to switch sides halfway through so players can shoot from opposite sides and you can develop your skating in the other direction.
