2 on 1 - Defensive Gap Control

Drill:

1. Offense 1 skates around a cone at center rink and picks up a puck
2. Offense 2 will skate across and into the zone
3. Defense 1 also leaves at same time and skates around cone and gets into backward skating position
4. The 2 Offensive players work together on a 2 on 1.

Focus:
1. Working together to get into the zone and get a shot on net
2. Defense should work on controlling the play and getting good position to block the shot/pass
3. Offense should also work on good positioning for getting a pass or looking for a rebound

Notes:
As with any drill remind the players how this applies in a game situation
