Wild Warm Up

Aug. 25, 2020 at 9:42 a.m. MDT

"Wild WarmUp" provides teams with another option outside of the typical "Horse Shoe Drill". Two players on one side exchange the puck as they skate from the corner to the blue. At that point, the inside player attacks the net and shoots while the outside player accelerates to the red and re-groups. The outside player then receives a pass from the opposite side's third player in line and shoots. As soon as the shot is taken, the other side begins.

Teaching Points

Communication on the passes is critical. Ensure the third player in the opposite line is prepared to make the pass. Encourage players to cushion the puck versus slapping it with little control. The pass from the corner should come quickly so the player and goaltender have time to react to the puck.
