T2-4 D400 Specialty Team Practice – Pro
Key Points:
Closest player must pressure the puck in straight lines from the net out. Skate back when the puck is passed. Stick on the ice in the passing lane. Communicate.
This is another example of a controlled scrimmage at each end. Coaches can teach specialty team play in the offensive or defensive end as well as even strength tactics such as defensive zone coverage, cycling, forechecks, etc.
Description:
1. A power play and a penalty killing unit at each end of the ice.
2. The coach passes in a puck from the line or from a face off dot.
3. Controlled scrimmage where everyone stops on a whistle.
4. If the puck is frozen, a goal or it is cleared put in a new puck.
5. After about 45 seconds do the same thing from the other end while the pp and pk units switch at the original end.
