Forwards - Breakout options
We worked on:
🏒 Breakout pass to winger with no pressure
🏒 Breakout pass to centre with no pressure
🏒 Rim breakout pass to winger without and with pressure
We did a ton of repetitions. Started off with no pressure, then added pressure to make it game like. We focused on getting the puck off the boards from a rim, using good body positioning/puck protection, and then finding support coming through for a pass.
Repetition will help the players become more confident. Players won’t have to think what they need to do, it will just come more natural.
Coaches, save this and work on breakout scenarios in your practices this year. No matter the age or skill level, you can always come back to the small things and give players options to have in their back pocket.
