The player moves into the corner on the defensive side of the puck heading up ice towards the boards with their head up at full game speed. Once they pass the hash marks they will make an outlet pass to the coach for a give and go returning to the net. After the shot on net the players moves to the other corner to grab a loose puck and moves up ice on the defensive side of the puck to make a quicker up ice outlet pass to the coach for a give and go shooting on net.
Players grab the loose puck with game like speed always on defensive side of the puck, move up ice with their heads up and make strong hard outlet passes. Coaches should be moving to catch the pass. on the return pass players should catch the pass on their forhand and back hand. When retriving the loose pucks players should grab the puck on their forehand and backhand in full speed motion and quickly get their head up to make the outlet passes. This drill is to mimic a game like condition of a breakout. Coach can add progression with adding pressure to the players.
