Players form two lines on one side of the ice, inside the blue line, facing the end boards.
One line starts where the goal line meets the boards and the other line is at the face-off dot inside the near circle. The line on the goal line has the pucks. The players are defensemen trying to carry the puck out. Begin the drill with a defenseman carrying the puck behind the net and attempting to head up ice along the far boards. The forechecker shadows the defenseman, skating in front of the net and angling him into the boards before he reaches the hashmarks of the opposite circle.
