2v1 Flow Breakout

PURPOSE

Works on simple 1-2 breakout with wing drive zone entry. Emphasize passing, timing, and gap control.

HOW TO

• Players line up on opposite blue lines and corners. All pucks behind the nets. Start with one D behind a net and one at center ice. All other D get out of the way along the boards.
• Play starts with one forward (1) going down the board and the player from the corner (2) going around the top of their near circle then hooking up ice inside the second circle.
• The D behind the net passes to 1. 1 passes to 1. 1 fills the far lane and 2 fills the near lane. 1 and 2 go in on a 2v1. This D will go off ice and a new D will fill into the center to take the 2v1 the other direction (3-4 side)
• Once a shot is taken, the D releases and picks up a puck behind the net. This triggers 3 to go down the boards and 4 to hook up ice like 2 for the drill to head the other way. After the D passes, they leave the ice and a new D steps in to take the 2v1 from the 1-2 side.
