DESCRIPTION

• Goalie 1 is behind the net. Player 1 is along the boards at the hash marks. Goalie 2 is in the net against the post.
• Goalie 1 grabs the puck and passes it to Player 1. Player 1 catches a pass and skates around a cone just beyond the top of the face-off circle as Goalie 2 moves out into position.
• Player 1 shoots the puck, and Player 1 and Goalie 1 play any rebounds.
• Play until the goalie freezes the puck, it gets deflected away from the scoring area or goes in.
• Then Goalie 1 passes the puck to Player 2, who is in the corner near the goal line.
• Player 2 catches the pass and then skates around the cone located on the face-off dot as Goalie 2 moves out into position. Player 2 shoots the puck, and Player 2 and Goalie 1 play any rebounds.
• Play until the goalie freezes the puck, it gets deflected away from the scoring area or goes in.
• Keep score... The goalie who covers the puck or deflects it into a corner gets one point, or the player/goalie who scores a goal gets one point... The first team to five points wins the game. Then switch sides, and goalies 1 & 2 rotate positions and repeat the drill.
