[Peter Allen]

I did this drill for the first time this weekend, and players loved it. I called it Circle Keepaway. I had 4 players stickhandling inside the faceoff circle, they protect their puck while they try to force the other players puck outside the circle. We had 3 players waiting outside the circle, and once one player was eliminated one of the waiting players would enter the circle, and the eliminated player would go to the back of the line. It was a fast paced drill, with great puck protection skills being shown. I stole this drill from Dean the Hockey God.
