Push Net Drill
view description
- Push Net Drill
  
  Have two players get behind a net and push it across the ice from blue line to blue line.
  
  You can make it into a relay race and split your squad into four groups – one team pushes the net to the blue line, then transfers it to waiting team members, who push it back.
  
  You can either keep the nets upright or tip them over.
  
  Tipping them is a good idea for young players because it gets them accustomed to being lower and using that appropriate skating stride.
  
  Coaching Tip:
  
  Using drills that incorporate competition and appropriate skating technique provides a great way for coaches to reinforce the kind of skating technique they want their players using. The kids love the races and the competition, and the coaches will see more kids using the appropriate skating technique.
