Transition Drill 9: Marko Polo

Purpose

Transition defense to offense, then regroup in neutral zone for attack 3 on 2.

Description

Defense starts the drill with D to D pass, then to centre X.

Then all 3 X's regroup at centre area and attack defense 3 on 2.

Key Teaching Points

D must step up and close gap after pass.

X's good width and depth should create good scoring chance.

• Regroup twice -- on first attack give puck back to defense and regroup a second time.
