Developing Goal Scoring and a Shooters Mentality
Use this drill in a station or with a small group
Position a rebound, bench or pad at the top of the crease and pucks both behind the player facing the net and behind the net
Goalie in net and shooter without a puck facing the net
2nd person in line will create a rebound off the rebound which the player will have to reacte to, pick up the puck quickly and make a play on the net
After the initial shot, they will gather a puck from behind the net, and attempt to score on the second puck
Have Players Focus on:
Readiness
Stick on the ice and quick hands
Gathering a puck quickly and getting your head up quickly so that you can see where the goalie is leaning or vulnerable
Use your edges and change of direction on the 2nd puck from behind the net
Keep things fresh and the athletes moving.
