Similar to the quick snap drills on Monday, the circle drill involves a quick stick handling maneuver followed by a quick release. You will notice in the video the either going clockwise or counter-clockwise, the release is quick. Remember what we learned Monday and incorporate into todays session.

Focal Points

• Eyes up the whole time
• Limit number of stick handles 
• Quick release 

• Shooting thru Screens is difficult to do because of some many moving parts, but mastering this can elevate your goal scoring ability. First you need to learn what the puck sees. Your vision on what's open from you eyes is very much different than what the puck sees. See diagram below

Pucks eyes vs your eyes. Train your shooting accuracy. Generate accuracy shooting pucks through traffic

In the drill, create different defenders to shoot around or through. Keep you feet moving (roller blades can help) can make this drill more life like. Use a variation of angles to attack your defender and find seams and opening.
