Slingshot 2v1
A 2-on-1 off a defenceman's slingshot, running at both ends at the same time.
How it works:
• The D starts on the boards at his blue line, skates up to the red line, then turns and skates backwards to defend.
• Two forwards leave from the far boards at centre ice: the puck carrier takes the outside lane, the other drives the middle to the net.
• The carrier passes across to the forward at the net, who shoots.
• All three skate back to their lines and the next group goes.
Setup:
• Forwards line up on the boards at centre ice with a pile of pucks, one line for each end.
• One D at each end, on the opposite boards at the blue line.
• A coach by each line sends the next group.
Progressions:
• Play it live: if the D takes away the pass, the carrier shoots.
• Add a backchecker for a 2-on-2.
Progressions
- Start — the drill as shown above
- 3rd attacker joins (3v1) — 3rd offensive player joins the rush in a triangle formation when entering the zone.
