This is the first drill in a series of drills designed to work on creating some offense out of a neutral zone transition. The drill starts with the coach at center ice and two defense several feet off the red line. On the whistle, the coach plays a puck softly to the blue line along the boards. The defense come up to the red line and pivot backwards. RD then opens up to go get the puck. When RD gets the puck he needs to face up ice while in control of the puck. In this variation, RD chips the puck off the boards into space where F1 can pick it up with speed. F1 then carries the puck slightly to the middle to create an angle for another chip to F2 who is swinging into the zone. After chipping the puck to F2, F1 drives to the far post.
