A good pregame drill to improve passing and shooting.
Players form two lines in the corners along the boards facing the neutral zone.
The first player from one of the lines skates along the boards toward the neutral zone. When he gets past the blue line, he turns inward to the middle of the ice and skates toward the goalie. After he makes the turn, the first player in the other line passes to him and then begins skating toward the neutral zone. Key points Passes should be timed so the player receives the pass as soon as he comes out the turn. The player making the pass should not start moving until after the puck has left his stick.
