Pelican Net Drive

REGROUPING

HOCKEY SENSE

PASSING

The Pelican Net Drive fundamentally works on basic regrouping and zone entry while adding a side helping of passing and skating.

A line of players with pucks at the BOTTOM HASH MARKS (2) and a single player around the top of the circle (1).
Players 1 & 2 pass back and fourth while skating to the neutral zone (one forward, one backward).
A final pass from 2 to 1 should be made around even with the face off dot.
Player 2 will open up and receive a regrouping pass from 1. The two players will then go in 2v0.
The shooting player (typically 2) should aim for the far pad of the goalie to try to create a rebound for the other player.
Once the shot (and one rebound if available) are taken, player 1 goes into the #2 line and Player 2 immediately becomes player 1 creating a continuous flow drill.

Timing. Players while skating forward/backwards need to adjust their speed and gap to try to maintain about 5-7 feet apart. A faster player may need to slow down to adjust to their partner.
Passing tape to tape. This should be a quick, almost one-touch pass. There is no defense and no reason to miss this pass.
Being onside! Since the top part of this is regrouping and zone entry, reinforce that players need to be onside when they enter the zone.
