Quick fire shooting drill

Quick fire shooting drill

Purpose: Players work on quick release shooting from all areas of the offensive zone.

Players line up in one corner with pucks
x1 starts skating backwards while carrying the puck
x1 makes a pass to the next player in line, x2
x2 fires a pass back to x1, who is still skating backwards
x1 carries the puck around the neutral zone dot and transitions to skating forwards
As soon as x1 crosses the blueline, he/she fires a shot on net
x1 continues to the net and gets another quick pass from x2 for a one-timer
x1 transitions to backwards skating and gets another pass from x2
x1 carries the puck backwards around the other neutral zone dot, transitions and takes another shot on net after crossing the blueline
x1 skates hard to the net for another one-timer on the goalie
x2 now becomes the shooter and the next player in line is the passer
Run the drill out of both ends
Encourage communication and heads up passing and shooting.
