Name: D-Zone Coverage
Ice Space: Half
Goalies: 1
Drill Goals: Work on D positioning
Notes: Start with one offensive player (without puck) in each corner (X1 & X2). These players should be facing the coach, who stands just inside the blue line between the circles. Defensive players (D1, D2 & F) should start in front of the net. Coach begins drill by passing a puck to either offensive player. NOTE: Coach should not make a direct pass to the offensive player. Coach should bounce the puck off the wall so X2 does not get a clean pick-up and they should try and pin the puck. Defending players must then react to the situation. Teach D2 how you want to close on the puck (e.g., stick-on-stick, up the wall, stick first-body second, etc.). Teach F1 how to back up the puck and D1 how to play net-front. The object is to force a loose puck, have F1 secure the loose puck and break it out to the coach. Once this happens, defending players should return to the net-front and reorganize themselves and then attack X1 as coach fires the puck into the alternating corner. Have X2 return to his or her original corner and wait for another repetition.
