Speed Entry Drill: Catch, Shift Laterally & Pull-In Shot
Speed Entry Drill: Catch, Shift Laterally & Pull-In Shot
The player builds speed with a few crossovers, catches a pass near the high slot, then immediately moves laterally to the right to simulate beating a defender in front of them.
The first touch pushes the puck around the 1st defender (obstacle) to create separation, followed by a second move into a pull-in shot release.
@RayStark9 does a great job selling the lateral move, pulling the puck back into his shooting pocket, and finishing upstairs with a quick release.
Key coaching points:
- Build speed before the catch.
- Receive the pass with your feet moving.
- Move laterally right away after the catch.
- Use a soft touch to beat the defender’s stick.
- Pull the puck in towards your body to shoot around the defender (obstacle)
- Release quickly before the goalie can reset.
