Change of Heart
"Change of Heart", has players beginning as teammates and ending as combatants. On the whistle, players skate side by side exchanging the puck (two to three passes should be made). Once they hit the blue line, the board side player takes the puck above the cone, transitions and attacks. The inside player becomes the defensive player and pivots to backwards at the blue line to play the 1vs1 back to the net. Once they reach the blue line the players on the other side begin.
Teaching Points

Defensive Player: Maintain gap on the pivot to control the attacker's space. pivot with the butt to mid-ice, stick is on the ice and in front of the body on the pivot.
