Breakout Preseason

The breakout- The breakout is a counter attack move to get the puck out of our defensive zone and into neutral ice.
D- The Defenseman reads the ice and carries the puck to the side with the fewest opposition players.
C- the center reads the defenseman and curls to the side the defenseman is traveling, skating at the speed of  the defenseman.
W- the wing gets to the boards and places his/her backside against the boards looking for a pass.

The Defenseman passes to the open man and all players explode to escape the zone. The Defenseman
follows behind the puck carrier looking for the drop pass.

Shooting Drill for Goalie Movement

Player C starts with puck passes to player A and starts skating, receives a return pass from A and skates around Player A with puck control, then passes to Player B who receives and returns a pass to player C. Player C then shoots. Player C shoots depending on what the Coach is asking for, carry the puck, setup slap shot, wrist shot, sweep shot, spin around a backhander, or one-timer. Reverse drill and run from other side of the rink.
Goalie: Start on the near post, move out to top of crease on the pass to player A adjust position for return pass to skating player C. Adjust position with Player C until pass to Player B follow pass to player B and cover post depending on player B's position. Cheat a peek at Player C and attack C (setup high crease) on pass from A. This is a lot of continuous movement for the goalie, early in the season attempt to save 3 out of 5 shots, after 5 shots get out of goal and critique your play with the coach.
