Hockey Shooting Drill – Cross Ice Pass Accelerate through Neutral Zone

Hockey Shooting Drill Description

On the whistle, opposite adjacent players (green) skate along the blue line and pass (pass 1) to the players (blue) on the other side.  Green players proceed to turn up the ice, accelerating through the neutral zone to receive the pass (pass 2) from the other side, simulating an quick transition, while staying on-side and releasing the shot at full speed.

This drill should be high tempo between whistles – giving the goalie enough time to set up.

Focus: Hard Passes – Pass with feet moving – Accelerate through neutral zone with stick on the ice – Setting clear targets.
