Today we worked on puck protection along the boards. They did cut backs vs 1-0, then 1-1 with passive resistance then 1-1 battles.
We started practice with 10 min. of individual choice practice. After that did a pass and replace drill, then the cut back drill, following the drill we played a game in one zone at each end with the rule they must clear the zone and get onside and then attack by dumping and chasing. This was to cause board battle and work on the cut back skill.

We went to a full ice game with one minute shifts. Rules: only 2" with the puck. First 5 min. pass to the goalie on the whistle and second 5" rim the puck so the goalie has to stop it and set it up for his D.

Finished with a Betting Shootout.

The practice with diagrams is on the attached PDF.

Players said it was one of their favorite practices so far.
