This drill blends puck retrieval, clean regroup habits, timing through the neutral zone, and agility and deception off the rush. Version 1: Player 1 retrieves a loose puck, opens up, and goes D-to-D to simulate a quick regroup. Player 2 immediately moves it to Player 3, who mirrors the puck with proper timing and spacing. From there, the rush player (player 3) attacks with a fake inside → drive outside, adds a soft touch through a stick (simulating a defender’s stick), then finishes with a second deception move (fake outside → cut inside) into a shot. Version 2: Instead of a loose puck retrieval, the first player receives a direct pass to their outside edge (backhand for lefties, forehand for righties) to challenge puck control and body positioning. Same regroup sequence. On entry, the rush player attacks with inside-out deception and a soft touch through the first stick. A second stick forces a change of angle release — pull-in, fake shot push, or lateral adjustment to create a shooting lane. Skills Emphasized: - Clean D-to-D execution - Neutral zone timing & spacing - Selling fakes - Soft hands through sticks - Changing shooting angles Regroup with purpose. Attack with deception.
