Turn Rimmed Pucks Into Middle Ice Offense
Turn Rimmed Pucks Into Middle Ice Offense
Most players get this puck and stay on the wall.
That’s often a mistake.
In this drill, we’re training the ability to get off the wall immediately and attack the middle — where plays are made.
Key details:
- Clean rimmed pickup off the wall
- Open up instantly — don’t continue up or down the wall
- Attack middle ice with purpose
- Sell a quick fake (here: right → left under the stick)
- One-touch pass out of the corner (after 1st shot)
- Get to ope. space and finish with a one-timer
Focus less on the finish — focus on:
👉 Clean retrieval
👉 Fast separation from the wall
👉 Deception under pressure
That’s what translates.
