Shot Into Gap Up 1 v 1

Get Full Access

Shot Into Gap Up 1 v 1 lets players work on driving the net, along with angling in a tight space.

Setup

  • Set the net up below the face-off circle on the goal line.
  • Set up 2 lines, one on the outside of the face-off circle in the slot, one at the blueline.
  • On the whistle, the player close to the slot takes a shot, while the player at the blueline explodes into the zone and goes around the far cone.
  • The player that took the shot works to gap up and angle the player coming in from the blue line.
  • Play out the 1 v 1.
  • Make sure players get reps at both sides.

Coaching Points:

  • Defender:
    • Gap up and match the offensive skaters speed.
    • Keep your stick on the ice and angle them towards the boards, do not let them cut back into the middle of the ice.
    • Go stick on puck and finish through their hands to remove the puck from their stick.
  • Offensive skater:
    • Keep your head up and look for an opportunity to cut back into the middle of the ice.
    • If there is no space, keep feet moving and try to protect the puck along the boards and drive to the net.
