Stickhandle "S" Drill
Contributor: Ace Reporter Jim Iovino
Emphasis: Stickhandling and endurance.
Age Level: Beginners to intermediate.
Drill begins with player in right corner (see diagram at right). Drill can be done at both ends at same time.
Description: Players start out in corner with a puck. Skate to far blue line aroud pylon, then back to goal line. Then to center red,
then back to goal line. Then to near blue line, then shoot on goal.
Players are forced to stickhandle for a long period of time in a tight area. As the players skate, they get more and more tired, causing them to have to
keep a stronger focus on their stickhandling.
