Rope work for power and speed

Two rope foot shuffle.

This is a quick feet drill that forces the player to use high knees to work their way through the ropes.

Set Up:

Take two ropes, about 40 feet in length, hold them about knee to thigh high and about 3 feet apart. Have the player start on the right side, use the left leg to hop into the middle, touch the right leg in the middle, then use the left leg to hop to the right, then touch the right leg on the right side. Hop back into the middle with the right leg and so on. 

Work your way back and forth until you reach the end.

Developing hockey sense used to be done by playing pond hockey late into the evening hours. Now a days hockey is in areas where ponds only frozen for a week if they freeze at all. So with the high costs of ice, USA hockey turned to the video game to help develop the mind and your hockey sense.
