Wrap-Around Races

Objective: Learn the wrap-around: tight to the net, quick around the post, jam it before the goalie slides. Setup: Line in the corner with pucks. Goalie live and defending both posts. Execution: Carry from the corner and drive BEHIND the net, hugging the post. Come around the far post and jam the puck low before the goalie gets across. Five reps each direction; keep score against the goalie. Coaching points: Hug the net — a wide loop gives the goalie time to slide. Puck on the far-side blade coming around, ready to stuff immediately. If the pad beats you there, pull it back and tuck upstairs — second option ready.
