Iron Cross #1

This is a great  drill for the days you work on penalty killing.  Not only is this a conditioning drill, but it is a drill that focuses on one of the best habits, Stopping and Starting.  The stopping and starting habit is critical to having a great penalty kill.  In this drill the players are always facing forwards.  The skate to the center dot, stop, and side step while facing forwards to the outside hash marks, stop, side step back to the center dot, stop, skate forward to the top of the circle, stop, skate backwards to the center dot, stop, side step to the other hash marks, stop, side step back to the center dot, stop, and skate backwards to the start of the line.  The next player goes when the player ahead of them completed the entire rep.
