The 6 Cone Skills Series is a simple yet highly effective setup to practice a variety of skills that are used over the course of a normal hockey shift (hard & soft direction changes, tight & wide turns, pivots and forward skating).
In this video, Rob Sedia of NewEdge Hockey runs a group though 5 unique skills that can be practiced with a small group or with two teams on the ice. These can be done with or without pucks. As players get comfortable with the movements, encourage them to keep their head up, sell their moves and increase skating pace.
The 5 Skills Sequences in the video are:
- Hard direction change
- Hard direction change into a tight turn
- Figure 8 tight turns
- Slide-out to shuffle
- Slide-out to deceptive shuffle
