This is a great drill. I used it all year with my Novice U-9 team, I would start the drill as a three player breakout, one line acts as the D, the middle line as the Centre, and the third line as the Winger on the boards. I would shoot the puck in, they would go D to Winger, Winger to Centre, and Centre back to me. Once I received the pass from the Centre I would shoot the puck back in, and the three would battle. Keep it high tempo.
