Star Drill

PURPOSE

Quick passing and shooting.

HOW TO

• Players are set up in a square around the net with pucks at one post.
• 1 passes diagonally to 2 and follows pass. 2 passes down to 3 and follows pass. 3 passes diagonally to 4 and follows pass. 4 takes a one time shot or catch and release if the pass is not on target. 4 goes to 1.

FOCUS

• Fast passing and shooting. This isn’t really a thinking drill, but more of a muscle memory reaction drill. If 4 is stick handling, thinking about where they are shooting, they are doing it wrong. LOL.
• Players need to give a good target and be set up to receive and deliver the pass in one stroke.

VARIATION

• player 4 goes to the front of the net for the STR before going to the back of line 1.
