Drill construction, for McLeod, starts with recreating situations that actually occur in hockey rather than repeating the same picture with no advantage in it. For young players he builds in a short-lived head start, a 3v3 where the receiver has vision the whole way, and coaches the early look and connection before the pass. Defenders are then added progressively to create changeovers and 2v1s. Watch the full masterclass: AMA with Shane McLeod.
