*Variation #2 (7 min): 2-On-0." Same as the above variation except all of the balls start in one line (later switching) and the second player in that line rolls the ball off the boards.  The player in the opposite line still goes to pick up the loose ball, but in this drill the first player in the same line as the balls also circles behind the net, both players coming out in front of the net on their proper floor side for a 2-on-0 on the goalie. The ball carrier has the option to shoot or pass. If passing, players must "time" their pass and try to deliver it when their teammate is in prime scoring position.

*Variation #3 (7 min):  "Screen Shots." Same as the variations above except after shooting the player (Variation #3A) or players (Variation #3B) stand in front of the net acting as a screen for the next player/players in line, who get(s) the loose ball and shoot around them (or potentially pass if it's Variation #2).

*Variation #4 (7 min):  "Defender Chasing."  Similar to the variations above except the offensive player starts behind the net with a ball and a defensive player starting a stick/arm length (2 metres) behind the offensive player.  On the coaches whistle they run out from behind the net, with defensive player(s) able to run through the crease to try to stop the offensive player(s).

If the defender recovers into good defensive position, the coach can allow play to continue for up to 5 seconds.  Players can play offense first and then defense (Variation #4A), which makes the drill slightly easier; or they can play defense first and then offense (Variation #4B), which makes the drill slightly harder (cardio-wise).
