Quickening the Slapshot Setup

By | June 14, 2022 |

You should know that all my big ideas don’t necessarily end-up working so well. Actually, the first drill I created to solve the above noted problem calls for spreading 30 or so pucks high in an end zone, and then having two players at a time race to get three quick shots on goal. That…

A Sample Snippet on One Way to Quicken the Shot

By | May 22, 2022 |

This old coach has always been looking for game-related skill drills, and this is an awesome example. You see, at one point during their season, I discovered that my feeder team was struggling to react quickly enough to loose pucks in the offensive crease. In other words, by the time they reacted to such conditions,…
