Diagram

Half-ice diagram of Give-and-Go to Shot. A line of players starts in the bottom corner. The front player skates up the bottom wall; a coach in the middle of the zone passes to them and they pass it straight back. They keep skating, round a pylon near the red line, take a second pass from the coach and carry in to shoot on the goalie, then return to the back of the line.

Coaching points

Give a target: stick on the ice, blade facing the coach.
Make eye contact with the passer before the puck comes.
One-touch pass back: cushion it and give it right back.
Keep your feet moving through the pylon; don't glide.
Drive the net after the catch and shoot to score.

How it runs

One line in the corner. A coach with pucks stands in the middle of the zone. A pylon near the red line on the same side.
The front player skates up the wall. The coach passes to them.
Give it right back to the coach (give-and-go) and keep skating toward the pylon.
Round the pylon. The coach passes again as you come out of the turn.
Drive in and shoot, then join the back of the line. Alternate sides each round.
