Breakaway Springboard
Full IceIntermediate1v0Shooting/ScoringTransition
Objective: Earn the breakaway with speed: catch a stretch pass in full flight and finish 1-on-0. Setup: D with pucks at the top of the circle, forwards lined up at the far wall of the neutral zone. Goalie live in the far net. Execution: Forward breaks across the middle at FULL speed, stick presenting a target. D leads him with a flat stretch pass; forward catches it in stride. Attack the net with speed and finish — no gliding, no double-deke stalls. Coaching points: Full speed BEFORE the puck arrives — a breakaway starts with the feet. Catch it in front of your body so the play keeps moving north. Have a plan by the top of the circles: shoot or one move, never three.
