Ice Hockey Transition Drills

The first player p1 will pass the puck to the player opposite them p4.

Ice hockey transition drills. Place players at both sides of the ice on the hash marks of the face off circle. Next two players from each team line up and face each other at center ice. The 2 on 1 mid ice transition hockey drill consists of a small ice game that promotes quick transition and works offensive and defensive skills in fast developing 2 on 1 situations. Place two cones on the top of the face off circle that players will.

P4 will pass to p2 and then get a return pass from p2. After p1 makes the first pass they skate up to the red line across the red line and then open up to recieve a pass from p4 in a large u shape. In the first drill the player takes one or two strides and transitions backwards off their right foot transitions weight to the left foot and transitions forwards by exploding off of the left foot and into full stride i m looking for a good video to demostrate this and once i do we will post it below. The players are lines up at the blue line along the boards with pucks.

Drill setup can be set up as half ice or as a station v iew how it would look as a station at the bottom of this post. These results show transition hockey drills. The first player in line will carry the puck in a circle out to the red line center ice then back throught the middle of the ice. The two nets are moved forward to create a small neutral zone playing area.

The drills are animated and include diagrams and descriptions. Two teams are formed and line up facing each other. The two hockey drills below are a couple good ones to work on this type of footwork. Set up four equal lines as shown.
