Play to one net, with a goaltender in the net. The defenseman starts at the edge of the faceoff circle on the net side, and the forward starts with the puck in the corner on the goal line extended. The drill begins when the forward takes off. The defenseman skates against the forward and tries to take the puck away, while the forward carries the puck toward the net and takes a shot.The battle continues until the puck is in the net, the shot is blocked, the defenseman skates the puck out of the situation, or the coach whistles after a short moment. If a goal is scored right away or the puck gets away quickly, the coach can feed in a new puck. Each player takes turns playing forward and defenseman.In the second phase of the drill, goals are counted, and the teams compete against each other.
