Coaching points

• Race: first three strides hard, and win body position on the puck.
• Winner: protect the puck on the wall, then look up for the low-to-high pass.
• High player: be ready, stick on the ice, and attack the net after the catch.
• Loser: recover fast and defend the 2v1. Take away the pass and let the goalie have the shooter.
• Attackers: drive the net for rebounds.

How it runs

1. Two players start side by side near the net. A high player waits at the top of the circle by a cone. The coach has pucks behind the net.
2. The coach rims a puck into the corner and both players race for it.
3. The winner retrieves the puck and carries up the wall.
4. The winner passes low-to-high to the high player.
5. The high player attacks and shoots while the winner drives the net. The loser defends the 2v1. Play it out, then the next pair goes.
