Improve anticipation and puck movement with this fun and competitive drill.

4v2 in small area. Coaches split the zone into two halves with a row of cones. 4 offensive players and 2 defensive players must stay in the same half zone. The same setup in the other half zone. Offensive players look to create passing and shooting lanes in order to score. Defensive players look to take away lanes, steal the puck and pass puck into other half of zone to one of their four teammates who then try to score.

Players change positions/teams when instructed by coach. Players take turns on offence and defence.

This drill can also be done in only one half of the zone with no second team. Offensive team gets three chances to score and gets a point for each goal. D pair must make three passes to each other to get a point. No points if the puck is cleared out of the half zone.
