This ice hockey drill helps with breakout passes, D-to-D partner passes, and helping players look at their options on the ice. Coach Matt Whitney of IPH Hockey shares why teaching players to pivot in both directions is a critical part of keeping them safe and effective on the ice.

The Pelican Net Drive Drill is a continuous flow drill that helps players practice several skills at once, including making and receiving passes while moving up ice, backwards and forwards skating, pivots, and driving the net. Coach Matt Whitney of IPH Hockey shares how this drill is useful for a small-area or ADM-style practice and why shooting low far pad is an important technique.
