A pull-from-anytime set, sorted by what it builds. Pick two or three per session — don't run them all.
Receive a pass and shoot in one motion — no settling, no wind-up. A quick shot beats a hard one because it's gone before the goalie sets.
Coaching Cue
Cue: "Catch and shoot in one motion."
Release while the feet are still moving, hidden in the skating, off either foot. Deceptive and quick — the goalie can't read a shot hidden in the stride.
Coaching Cue
Cue: "Release in stride — hide it in the skating."
Move the puck to the slot / net-front before shooting; perimeter shots from bad angles don't count. Good ice beats a good shot from bad ice.
Coaching Cue
Cue: "Get to the middle first."
Pass and immediately drive the net for the return or rebound — never stand and watch. Builds the instinct to be a threat without the puck.
Full stickhandling menu on a pad with the head up, eyes off the puck. Everything else — the quick shot, getting open — needs him seeing the ice, not the puck.
Coaching Cue
Cue: "Feel the puck, eyes on the net."
Building a session: one release drill, one shot-selection drill, one off-puck drill, and finish with rapid-fire from home plate. Rotate which leads so no part of his game goes stale.
