Horseshoe passing drill

Purpose: Works on tape-to-tape passes and hitting a moving target.

• Players line up with pucks in opposite corners
• P1 and P2 leave at the same time without pucks, curling to receive a pass from the opposite corner
• P1 and P2 drive to the net (in the same end where they started) and take a shot
• After they make the pass, P3 and P4 skate to the opposite end, curl and receive a pass from the next player in line
• The drill continues with each player first making a pass and then skating to the other end of the ice to receive a pass
• Keys components to work on include heads up passing, controlling the puck and calling for the pass
• One variation is to have two players leave at once to create a 2 on 0 rush.
