Crossover and Powerpulls with Pucks (Joe Sundgren)

“This one’s gonna be a little bit tiring,” Joe warns his elite level skater. He has her skate circles around four cones arranged in a circle. At each cone, she will pick up a new puck. At the end, she will skate to take a shot at the goal.

He walks through the direction of turns before she begins. This drills works on head up, ramping up speed, controlled crossovers, along with leaving the puck and turning to look ahead with a puck pick up.

Joe reminds her to turn her shoulders and eyes, as well as to maintain and gain speed on the turns. To make it extra fun Joe gets in her way before she tries to shoot into the goal.
