Quad Passing Defender Drill

Hockey Coach Vision is back with the Quad Passing with Defender hockey drill

Overview

The Quad Passing with Defender drill is a keep-away game that’s done in a small space. It finishes with a quick shot in net while under pressure. 

Quad Passing with Defender Drill Description

• Set up 4 skaters on the ice
• Player 1, Player 2 and Player 3 attempt to make as many passes as possible through the face-off circle, while Player 4 tries to intercept the puck
• After 4 passes, one of the passers goes in for a shot and then the shooter becomes the defender

Key Points

• Players on the outside should keep their feet moving, and skate to left and right
• If a pass gets intercepted, the player that makes the bad pass switches to defender
• Players should work to get open and keep their sticks on the ice for a passing target
