The Andy Murray

https://vimeo.com/847503390

Jason Lammers explains The Andy Murray drill. This drill is a continuous 2 on 1 identity drill that is full ice and practices transition, rush attack and tracking.

Setup

Full ice setup with both goalies in net.
Line up players along the boards in the neutral zone.
On the whistle, a 2 v 1 begins.
After the 2 v 1 players pass the neutral zone, two new defensive forwards jump into the zone and provide support to the defensemen who is trying to break the puck out to them.
A new defenseman steps out and once the breakout starts, it is 2 v 1 the other way down.
The original forward backcheck the 2 v 1 until the blue line, red line, or far blue line (depending on what the coach wants).
The drill is continuous.

Coaching Points

Backcheckers should track back through the middle of the ice with their sticks on the ice.
Offensive players on the 2 v 1 should support each other.
Defenseman playing the 2 v 1 should keep their stick on the ice to block passing lanes and keep a good gap.
