3v1 High Drive

PURPOSE

For offensive players, this works on zone entry with speed and creating the shooting triangle down low with a high net drive.

HOW TO

Drill is shown to one side. Can be run from both side simultaneously. This is also a variation on Andover 2v1.

• D lines up in center ice, 3 lines of players to board side of circle.
• All three lines go at the same time.
• 1 passes to D and proceeds up ice receiving puck back. 2 goes around the center circle and drive high. 3 Cuts through the circle and drive far post.
• D, after passing, retreats and plays 3v1 having to force play wide while still identifying the dangerous man.

FOCUS

• Tape to tape passes

• Quick hard shots

• Recognizing if you should shoot, pass, and what the best passing option is – too often 1 will be SELFISH and keep the puck giving up a great backside read opportunity.

VARIATIONS

• This can be run similar to Andover 2v1 but with a 3rd person. D would make the pass out instead of coming from the forward and D would go around the circle to defend opposite side.
