Here's a great drill to start practice with.

Two Touch and Outside Entry.

Set-up:

Four lines of players at each of the blueboards ( bluelines against the boards)

Mechanics:

Kitty-corner lines go together.
1's Skate across bluelines and two touch pass with 2's. (Get pass and return)
1's swing up ice while 2's skate across blueline with puck.
2's pass to 1's from opposite end, who are driving outside lane.
1's continue for shot, while 2's now two touch with next in line 1's.
Drill continues in this manner.

A great skill drill that works on an outside entry while warming up the goalies.

A variation is to have 2 pass the puck back to the line he came from, forcing 1 to come across so as to offer close support, before driving the net for a shot.

A drill like this really gets everyone's attention to start practice.
