Transition and Breakout Ben Syer Cornell University

Right Up Transition F1 starts with the puck and passes puck to D1 D1 back pedals while under handling the puck F2 comes back to the puck D1 passes the puck directly to F2 F2 then bumps the puck off the boards to a slicing F1 D1 jumps up into the rush F2 follows up the play F1 can shoot OR pass to D1

Right Up Transition Options: We will have F1 come across higher depending on our weekend opponent The drill starts out of opposite corner on the whistle

KEYS: Defensemen: Under handle pucks Edges Firm quick ups Joining Rush Forwards: Using body to protect puck Area Chips (playing fast with touch) Puck support Net drive Goalies: Goalie set feet and then re-gap off pass Compete for 2 nd and 3 rd chances *Video TIMING: Warm-Up (2 nd or 3 rd Drill of practice) Use any week to emphasis D jumping and Team playing fast

Use the Net 2v1 Coach chips the puck to D1 F3 forechecks D1 on either side of the net D1 needs to make the read and can come out either side of the net to break pressure If F3 gets the puck stop drill and start over D1 make outlet to F1 or F2 and then regroups with D2 and then attacks 2 on 1

Use the Net 2v1 Out of the other end: After D2 transitions F1 and F2, he retreats and gets puck from Coach and F6 forechecks The drill is continuous

KEYS: Defensemen: Shoulder checks and head up Open up hips and explosiveness(take a few strides after outlet/ gets up in offensive but also helps re-gap) Outlets under pressure Efficient feet on 2 on 1 (get on edges) Stick position (passing lane) Clear pucks East/West net front Forwards : Open up, face puck Offensive Habits (Shot/Shot off pad/ Pass for quick shot) Net drive and 2 nd opportunities Sticks on ice and stop at net Goalies: Rebound Control Reading Rush *Video TIMING:- Rush (3 rd or 4 th Drill of Practice) - For Teams with good backside pressure or that will chase on FC
