This drill focuses on a defenseman retrieving a loose puck behind the net and creating separation from a forechecker before transitioning into fake pass and ends with a shot. The defenseman retrieves the puck, sells a quick fake to one side, then cuts tight around the net to protect the puck and create space. After exiting the net area, the player uses a quick double stickhandle, opens up with a pivot, sells a fake pass, and finishes with a shot. Key Skills: • Loose puck retrieval • Tight turns around the net to create separation from a forechecker • Soft hands and controlled stickhandling • Deception (selling a pass before shooting) • Quick transition from escape move to shot #drill #defenseman
