Wacky Pass

"Wacky Pass", is a creative half ice passing drill. On the whistle, a red and blue player start with a puck and pass it to a transition player who waits on the opposite side of the zone. They then ignore the player they passed it to, turn to mid-ice and receive a pass from the player on the opposite team in the opposite corner. On the whistle, the next group of players begin.


Teaching Points

Attacking Players: Move the puck quickly and accurately to the transition players. Look to new pass option with head on a swivel and have stick on the ice and square for pass reception. Attempt to receive and shoot in one motion.

Transition Players: Move feet quickly upon reception. Track the receiver and attempt to put the puck on the tape with the appropriate velocity based upon the position of the support player.
