Face Off and Fast Breaks Team Drill

Too often, we have to choose between having our faceoff players practice independently or participating in team drills. This competitive faceoff drill engages the entire team, eliminating the need to separate faceoff specialists from the group.

This drill focuses on improving faceoffs, fast breaks, and substitutions on the fly, keeping players moving and engaged throughout. It is essentially a fast-paced game with 1 defenseman and 2 attackmen on a shortened field.

• Shorten the field so the goal is placed halfway between the crease and the restraining box.

• Ensure that two offensive players stay onside and one defensive player stays onside at all times.

• This setup promotes fast-break situations, rewarding the team that wins the faceoff and creating mismatches that lead to scoring opportunities.
