Primary Intermediate Drill

Positional Assessment
• Pucks start at the point on the boards and on the hash marks
• X1 drives down the boards and around the indicated pylon to release a shot
• X2 meanwhile mirrors this movement on the other side (without puck)
• As X2 comes around the cone, the player will hustle back out to the
middle point pylon, drive around it and release a 2nd shot on net
• After taking this shot X2 can drive down the slot or stay high
• X1 meanwhile buys time and then drives around the opposite-side pylon
and releases the 3rd shot

Key Execution Points
• On the first shot G should be conservative due to the weak-side threat
• On the 2nd shot, G should play more aggressive due to the lack of a weak-side threat
• On the 3rd shot, position will be determined by X2’s response (i.e. net drive or stay
high), so awareness is important.
