Chicago 5 Puck – passing warm-up
- Four lines face each other in the neutral zone.
- Five lines start with a puck (you can also modify and begin with four pucks. Starting with five pucks makes it more challenging)
- On the whistle, players with the puck must find an open player on the other side to pass to. They can pass to any open player on the opposite blue line.
- It is critical that the player, with the puck, scan the ice, communicate, and buy time as needed.
- Players without the puck need to be alert, have their sticks on the ice, and scan the ice.
This warm-up drill is continuous.
