1/4 Ice 2 Cone 1v1

PURPOSE

Quick break out pass and small area 1v1.Similar to half ice 2 Cone 1v1, but in a 1/4 ice situation.

HOW TO

*Note: Description is for 1/4 ice. Drill can be run on both sides or one side and a different drill on the other to maximize ice time and reps.*

• Two line at the blue line and 2 cones set up jut inside the blue line with a few feet between them and a few feet away from the boards.
• Player 2 starts to take a few strides toward the net and 1 passes to 2. This is so that they are making and catching a pass in motion.
• 1 goes down the “board” for a break out pass while 2 carries the puck to the corner and behind the net then makes the break out pass to 1.
• 1 carries back up and around the top cone, 2 skates to bottom cone and transitions to backwards and plays 1v1.

FOCUS

• Don’t let the players cheat the play by cutting the cones.
• Ideally, the position of the cones should force player 2 into the lane of 1 for solid, smart, positional angling.
• Don’t handcuff the players by limiting player 2 to being a D and player 1 to being F. Let all players learn the play and get the opportunity.
