Overspeed Center-Circle Bursts
Neutral ZoneIntermediate1v0Skating/EdgesConditioning
Objective: Train crossover speed past comfortable — around the circle at max RPM, then explode out. Setup: Line of players outside the center circle. Coach on the whistle. Execution: Sprint 1.5 laps around the center circle at maximum crossover tempo. On the whistle, explode straight out and sprint through the far blue line. Four reps each direction; full recovery between reps (this is speed, not conditioning… mostly). Coaching points: Fall into the circle — lean beats brakes. Feet never stop crossing; arms drive the tempo. The exit stride is the payoff — first three steps violent.
