Gilmour Pass-Pull-Shoot
SKILLS
PURPOSE
Working on getting open for a shot, handling a pass in motion, and
changing shooting angle.
HOW TO
- Two lines of players – one on each side of the net. A border patrol or cones as a barrier set up in the slot and one player behind
the barrier. - On go, player up top (3) starts to one side and just past the barrier, they will receive a pass. They will then open toward the
barrier, drag across (behind) the barrier and shoot just past the other side. They are NOT driving to the net – drag and shoot. - Once they shoot, they will open up, get a pass from the other side, drag across again and shoot from the first side they started
on. - Repeat for 4 total shots, then rotate.
FOCUS
- Receiving passes in a shooting and/or puck protection position
- Escape transitions and edge control
- Quick shooting from an adjusted shooting angle
VARIATIONS
- Add a defender – shooter should use escape moves and shielding and avoid “running away” from defense, ie creating too much space and separation. This should be a close, quick drill.
