Diagram

Half-ice diagram of Corner Pass to Half-Ice 1-on-1. One line of F's stands against the boards in each corner, and a line of D's with pucks stands in the middle of the ice at a cone level with the tops of the faceoff circles. The front D passes to the front F in the bottom corner, then steps across into that half of the ice. The F carries up the wall, curls in and attacks 1-on-1 while the D skates backwards to defend on the inside. The F shoots on the goalie. Then the F goes to the centre line and the D goes to that corner line. The next rep goes to the other corner.
