Simple drill, but a lot of game habits packed into one rep. Coach throws a puck behind the net, and the first player has to hunt it down, take efficient steps into the puck, cut back to create separation, and make a soft sauce pass over a stick to a teammate out front for a quick shot. Ideally, we want that cutback working back toward the wall so you can protect the puck from pressure instead of turning back into trouble. From there, it’s all about getting your eyes up and making a pass with enough touch to clear the stick but still arrive flat enough for your teammate to shoot. Great rep for working on retrievals, puck protection, touch passing, timing, and quick-release finishing around the net. What’s the hardest part here — the retrieval, the cutback, or the soft sauce pass? #drill #puckretrieval #puckprotection #passing #shooting #skilldevelopment
