🏒 Stacked 2-on-1 Drill
Sharpen your quick decision-making and offensive instincts in tight spaces.
The Stacked 2-on-1 drill puts players in fast-paced, game-like rush situations where quick thinking and puck movement are essential.
By starting in a stacked formation, the attacking forwards are challenged to create space, read the defense, and execute under pressure — all while the defender works to disrupt passing lanes and force low-quality chances.
