Royal Road One-Timers

Objective: The highest-value pass in hockey: walk out from below the goal line and feed across the royal road. Setup: Passer with pucks below the goal line, shooter at the far dot, one passive defender sliding in the lane. Goalie live. Execution: Passer walks out from below the goal line, drawing the goalie to the post. Feed crosses the royal road — the invisible line splitting the slot — to the far-dot shooter. Shooter one-times into the side the goalie just vacated. Rotate all three spots on five pucks. Coaching points: The pass MUST cross the mid-line of the slot — that's what forces the goalie to move. Walkout patience: one more step drags the goalie deeper before the feed. Shooter aims where the goalie WAS — the movement is the opening.
