Purpose:
To learn skating skills, agility, and puck control
Description:
Work from both ends. Start from opposite corners and begin at the same time.
Follow the pattern of the pylons.
Next in line starts after player in front has successfully gone around the first pylon.
Key teaching points:
This is not a race! Emphasize correct technique.
Should be 8-10 players active at all times.
Variations:
*360 degrees around each pylon (with or without puck).
*No sticks - touch pylon with inside hand while doing tight turns (this forces skater to bend knees).
* Pivot from forward to backward at each pylon (with or without puck).

- DRILL CAN BE RUN OUT OF BOTH ENDS
- Forwards at 3 stations - defencemen at 1 station
- Defenceman takes point shot - swings low to face first forward for a 1vs1 to net
- After completing first 1vs1 he swings to opposite corner for another 1vs1
- After completing he challenges forwards at the blueline for another 1vs1
- On the last 1vs1 he and the forward stay at the net for interference
- The next defenceman takes a point shot with players in front of net
- The 2 net players go back in their lineups and the drill repeats
- There should be no rest time on any of the 1vs1's
