T1-3 - High and Low Cutbacks 1-1 - Russian U20

Key Points:

Create separation by taking quick strides to make the defender cross-over and then cut back in the other direction.

Description:


1. Players line up in the high slot and the coach has the pucks.
2. Coach shoot the puck into the corner and an offensive and defensive player go.
3. Attacker drive skate hard toward the back of the net and cut back when the defender chases.
4. Defender is passive but should work on having ‘stick on the puck’ and defensive side.
5. Practice turning up the boards and cutting back low then walk out or wrap around.
6. Switch sides and repeat.
7. This drill is good for both offensive and defensive techniques.

*Option is for the offensive player to do cutbacks both ways while the defender practices dside and good stick position. After about 5” blow the whistle and play live with the attacker trying to score and the defender to carry the puck above the top of the circles.

I was just at a seminar in Vancouver with lots of pro coaches giving great talks about how their teams play various situations. Section thirteen has many ideas on how to practice these situations on the ice, so I decided a table of contents divided by topics is a good way for coaches to access the drills and 10 best lists. If coaches like this then I will take the time to do it for the other drill sections and make it a thread.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Drill Section Thirteen - Table of Contents

This is a table of contents for Drill Section Thirteen. There are a lot of pro drills and pro team play drills, 10+ best lists as well as drills I used this past season with my U15 boy’s team along with Wally Kozak who has coached with Dave King on the National Team and works with their women’s program. Where the link says forum in it then it takes you to the forum posting with the description, diagram and video link. Mediagallery takes you to the video link only.

C600 - 2-1 x 2 – Pro

Key Points:

Offense should attack with speed and force the D to make a decision by making the first play near the blue line. This allows for a second play. D should delay the attack as much as possible and defend the most dangerous player allowing a bad angle shot, deny shots from the middle and puck crossing the mid-line.

Description:


1.F's line up at diagonal blue lines and D's at opposite diagonal blue lines.
2. D1 pass up the boards to F1.
3. F1 skate to the middle and pass to F2 who crosses behind as D1 closes the gap.
4. F1-F2 attack 2-1 vs. D1.
5. Coach mirror the play from the high slot. (A player could also do this)
6. D2 pass to F3 and F4 skate back and cross to attack D2 the other way.
7. Finish the attack with a goal, frozen puck or D pass to the coach.
8. Players watch to see which attack is finished and start the 2-1 in that direction.

* D and goalie make it a 2 on 2 and allow the goalie to be square to the puck.

* After a shot the D takes the stick of the player at the far post and goalie play the rebound.

* Attacker should pass on the forehand if he is on the off wing or shoot is the D lets you walk in.

* This is a great drill and it could be random with 1-2 or 3 F attacking and 1 or 2 defending. The players would have to read the play and communicate.

Skating and Puck Handling Warm up - NCAA Div. 1 Female Freshman

A female player I have worked with 4 years does her warm-up with a puck including edges and balance. The idea is to reach as far as possible with the puck and separate the movement of the upper and lower body. Around the circles the puck stays on one side of the blade in order to loosen the shoulders.

Yesterday she carried 5 different kinds of balls at the same time and did many agility exercises, lots of shots and scoring and passing. We are going 5 days in a row before I go to Santa Rosa to play in a tournament.

T2-4 PP Breakout to 4-2 and 2-1 - Pro W

Key Points:

Extra players on the bench in a D100 formation. Rotate in when the 2-1 and 4-2 are playing at each end. D everything with speed and drive to the net on the attack.

Description:


1. Four defenders and five attackers pass the puck on their side of the red line.
2. Attackers dump their puck into their end for a PP breakout and attackers forecheck.
3. In neutral zone 3 attacking forwards and 1 D continue and vs. the 2 defensemen 4-2.
4. The 2 pk forwards get a puck from the coach and turn to attack the other offensive D 2-1.
5. Next group of 5 and 4 come out and repeat.
6. If there are only 5 D then the 2 D who attacked now go with the 2 PK forwards.

• Two colours make team play drills easier to coach and more in tune with today’s game of Total Hockey.

T1-2-3-4 - C2 2-2 Technique - RB Pro

Key Points:

C2 is a great formation to teach from and go over key points. Keep score and make the drill a contest. A 2-2 has the 4 roles. 1-puck carrier, 2-puck support, 3-check puck carrier, 4-cover away from puck.

Description:


1. Attacker 1 pass to attacker 2 then take the ice behind by crossing to the middle.
2. Coach wants attacker 2 to skate to the wide lane and 1 cross to the middle.
3. Defender 1 and 2 skate out and close the gap right away.
4. Cross and drop before the blue line to cause the defenders to make coverage decisions.
5. Coach put in a new puck if the play ends right away and the 2 on 2 continues.
6. Attackers cross to cause confusion and defenders communicate to stay man on man or switch.
7. Cross to create a 2-1 vs. one defender.
8. Defenders must see their man and the puck and play on the defensive side.
9. Attackers fight for the offensive side and keep their sticks free for one touch shots and rebounds.
10. Either play F and D or everyone play all situations, which is better for development.

* I am adding a pdf. with all three of these drills together, 1-1, 2-1, 2-2, as it is a great teaching sequence.

T1-2-3 - C2 2-1 Technique - RB Pro

Key Points:

This is a great formation for teaching as the players are close to the coach. Defenders close the gap right away and keep the puck on one side then it is really a 2-2 with the goalie playing the shooter. Attack with speed and cross the mid-line with the puck, a pass or a pass off the pads.

Description:

1. Start with F1 skating toward the red line and getting a pass from F2.
2. D1 skate up and close the gap before the blue line.
3. F1 attack the wide lane and F2 cross behind.
4. F2 be in a good shooting position. Square up if on the off wing.
5. Puck carrier must be a threat and attack with speed.
6. Defender stay in the middle and identify the most dangerous attacker.
7. Coach stop the drill to give input on how to play the situation.
8. Attackers make the first pass early so there is a second play and use the forehand when possible.
9. Defender keep the play to one side and tie up the stick of the player going to the net after a shot.
10. If the puck carrier is wide and deep an option is for the defender to slide outside the strong side post.

This may be the best situation drill of all. It is game-like and full ice,, the players transition from offense to defense and a lot of read and respond is required .
Gene Reilly is running this drill. Gene is from Boston and is a lifer with a huge background coaching Jr. A with Bill Dineen, at Maine with Sean Walsh, working with Ottawa's AHL team with the assignment of teaching Jason Spezza the pro game. He also was an asst. coach at Harvard, Northeastern and now trying to rebuild the program at CC. Gene spent about five years with the Red Bulls and left there to be a pro scout for Carolina. He missed coaching and went back to the NCAA. A really, really hard working guy. I learned a lot from him.


Here is Babcock doing this same sequence as a transtion game with Detroit (coaches would be well advised to incorporate Transition Games after they use situation drills to teach the players. There is only one puck, no whistles and you just need to send more or less players to change the situation.)

DT100 Continuous 2-1, 2-2 Detroit – Pro

Video of the transition game.

Detroit's supporting F and D are passive in this video but they could be active as in the drill and have a 2-1 in the nzone and 3-3 in each zone and then a 2-2 through the nzone and a 4-4 in each zone. A 3-2 situation creates a 5-5 in each zone and they are all great ways to practice offensive and defensive team play. If you have only 16 skaters you can get a 5-5 by having one D join the rush and the high F backeck on a continuous 2-2.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

C6 - 1-1 to 2-2, 2-1 to 3-3, 2-2 to 4-4 - RB Pro

Key Points:

Defenders communicate, attack with speed, O and D fight to control the slot.

Description:

1. D in one corner and F in the other corner at both ends.
2. Either F1 starts with a puck or D1 passes to F1 who skates into the middle circle before attacking 1-1 vs. D1.
3. On the whistle F2 attack D2 at the other end and D1 join the rush while F1 backchecks.
4. Keep attacking and defending until the whistle.
5. Add a forward to make it a 2-1 until the whistle when they join to create a 3-3.
6. Players must communicate who to cover on defense.
7. Attack with speed to beat the backchecker on the 2-1.
8. Play with good habits: stop at the net, D tie up sticks, create rebounds.
9. Keep Score to increase intensity.
