Shadow Carry 1v1 Chase

Objective: Full-speed puck carrying with a shadow on your hip — protection habits built where they're needed: in stride. Setup: Carrier at the blue line with a puck, chaser a stick-length behind. Goalie live in the far net. Execution: On 'go' the carrier attacks the far net at full speed; the chaser shadows and works the stick. Carrier keeps the puck on the far side of his body without curling back or slowing down. Finish with a shot in stride; chaser plays the rebound. Swap roles coming back. Coaching points: Straight lines win — every curl-back invites the chaser onto the puck. One hand on the stick, puck pushed ahead, body between stick and shadow. Shoot through the chase — waiting for clean space means never shooting.
