Chicago 5 Puck – passing warm-up

  1. Four lines face each other in the neutral zone.
  2. Five lines start with a puck (you can also modify and begin with four pucks. Starting with five pucks makes it more challenging)
  3. 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.
  4. It is critical that the player, with the puck, scan the ice, communicate, and buy time as needed.
  5. Players without the puck need to be alert, have their sticks on the ice, and scan the ice.

This warm-up drill is continuous.
