All drills must have a purpose! Every drill in this article can be used for any team and their systems. This is just a portion of one of our practices at TCU.
One of my favorite drills to get the defensemen thinking more effectively is the Read The Rush drill.
Description: F1 and F2 start the drill on the centerline wall. Forwards on opposite hashmarks and Defense on opposite hash as well. On the whistle forwards(red) pass to their centerline support. F1 and F2 make a give and go pass then choose what rush to join. The defense gap up and must read and react to the rush. This drill can turn into a 3 on 1, 2 on 1 or a 1 on 1.
"These drills are great because no matter what your team's systems are, you can easily implement them into any one of these drills . . . SEE MORE OF THE COACHES SITE Join The Coaches Site to access the latest drills, tactics & leadership lessons from hockey's top coaches. Already a member? Login
