Player starts starts in a hockey stance with V-diamond power start position. Explode out of the start, tight turns around first two cones. Pick up puck at center dot. Skate two strides and shoot in stride at the small net (Hit the NET!) Continue full speed after shot, two tight turns around the cones and full speed wheel down the ice and back to line. Next player starts when first skater hits gets the puck.
Key points: Shooting in stride and athleticism/stamina. With 4-5 kids in each group, these players will be exhausted by the end of this drill. No need to reverse sides on this drill as the number of turns is equal. Whichever coach is running this drill, keep on the kids to maintain speed throguhout the drill. They need to be pushed. This is the station where the cardiovascular is being tested so do not let them cheat.
