Coaching points
- Carrier: wide with speed, then cut in with your head up.
- Middle player: drive hard to the back post, stick on the ice.
- Shoot for a rebound, or pass across if the back post is open.
- Both players go to the net after the shot.
- Switch lanes every rep so everyone plays both roles.
How it runs
- A wide line at the red line by the boards with pucks, and a middle line in the centre lane. A goalie in net.
- The wide player carries over the blue line along the boards while the partner drives the middle lane.
- The carrier cuts in; the middle player keeps going to the back post.
- The carrier shoots (or passes across to the back post). Both go to the net for the rebound.
- Switch lines: the carrier joins the middle line and the middle player joins the wide line.
