Hi, he was doing drills without shooters.

Just to add to what Hildy had to say about shuffling when travelling post to post...I noticed that you do NOT do any shuffles when doing these movement drills. Yes, t-pushes look good and feel pretty cool to execute, but when the puck is in the zone the only time you should be t-pushing is on passes that are an arm and stick length in distance or longer. Remember, when a player is moving with the puck shuffles are a must for maintaining proper positioning, squareness and readiness. Just to help understand the point check out this article:

The Importance of Varied Footwork

Keep up the good work! Thanks for sharing the video.

Here are some videos of a more holistic approach to movement drills while on the feet:

Standing Movement Drills

Adding some down movement:

Down Game and Recovery Drills (with and without shots)

Hope this helps for further open ice times.

i think i was doing t pushes across because i was actually thinking through the movements. in a game type situation i noticed that i do use shuffles. kinda weird but as i was doing the t pushes i thought it felt s little awkward.
