E1 Change on the Go with Pass Shootout Key Points:
Players should work on selling the fake, change of pace and making the goalie move first. The goalie must time his retreat into the net to keep good angles on shots and cover the goal line on dekes. Description:
1. Players are in the box and one puck on each blue line for every player.
2. Player from each team leaves the box and tries to score.
3. If they score they race to the box and touch the boards and then the next player can leave.
4. If they don't score they pass to the next player who comes out of the box.
5. Losing team do something for every goal they lose by.
*To make it realistic the goalie should practice starting from the goal line and coming out.

————————–
Played the night before and won 3-0. 51 shots for and 29 shots against. Their chances came from sloppy blind passes or turn-overs on high rish/low reward situations. We work very hard and only got one coincedental penalty because our sticks are on the ice and on the puck for the most part. This creates great checking angles and lots of turn-overs. Their goalie played very well. Our goalie had to earn his shutout because of the turn-overs.
We did this practice this morning and it had good tempo and we accomplished a lot. Jim said that a lot of the players have a hard time stick handling around their body becaue the hands are too wide apart and gripping the middle of the stick too tightly. I focused on offensive zone team play and introduced more power play options that are also good for even strength. Alex said the breakouts were good except for players passing much too softly. Many players struggled with the weave and didn't get into the wide lanes.
So we have lots of work to do. 30 SA is too many and we should be scoring more with 51 SF. Enforcing the rule that they must do 3 push ups every time they miss the net in drills has been effective because we hit the net on almost every shot in the game.
