Drill overview

A fun, competitive battle between shooters and the goalie.

Five players set up around the net.
The first player shoots, aiming to score or create a rebound.
As soon as the puck hits the goalie, everyone else is live.
If a goal is scored (direct or rebound), the players earn a point.
Players can make one pass after a rebound; when the next puck hits the goalie, passing resets.
If the first shot misses wide, goes behind the net, or is frozen, the goalie earns a point.
After every goalie point, players rotate positions so everyone gets a turn shooting.
Play to 10 points — may the best side win.
