Chariot Races

Drill Description:
All the kids line up in pairs on the goal line. One kid remains standing, the other is on his knees. The standing player holds the blade end of both sticks, while the kneeling player holds the butt-end. On my cue, the standing players race, pulling their teammate down the ice. We try this with forward skating and backward skating and of course we switch the players around at each end of the ice so they both get the fun of being dragged 
In this drill, the kids really have to dig in, so they eventually figure out keeping the skates forward (I call it running man style) doesn’t allow them the propulsion they need, and they start turning their skates out to really dig in.
