"Texas Stars Tempo", develops shoot in stride skills, while also working on high speed transition and stick control. Three lines set up on the red line or the blue line. If it is a full ice practice use the red line and if it is a 1/2 ice practice use the blue line. The first player starts with a puck, explodes and releases the puck at the top of the circle. Following the shot, the player quickly transitions back towards the centre line and receives a pass from the first player in the next line. The active player then one touches the pass back to the player in line who begins. The drill is continuous.


Teaching Points

Attack the net and attempt to shoot with the head up and on the goaltender. Encourage both wrist and slap shots as the drill progresses. Shooting at top speeds is a challenge for all players and takes patience and repetition.
