Ice Hockey Training Drills for Skaters
Engage in a variety of ice hockey training drills focusing on skills like crossovers, tight turns, backward skating, puck control, stopping, and battles. Stations incorporate different techniques such as weaving around cones, stopping at specific points, transitioning between forward and backward skating, and practicing angling strategies. The drills progress in difficulty levels, adding elements like carrying pucks, incorporating puck handling, and performing different types of stops and turns. These structured drills aim to enhance players' agility, control, and overall performance on the ice.
