The Archives - Owen Sound Attack Drill Pack 2021

In January 2021, I attended the Attack Coaches Forum, hosted via Zoom by the Owen Sound Attack of the Ontario Hockey League. The presentations by then-coaches Alan Letang, Joey Hishon, and Jordan Hill were highly informative.

A few days later, I reached out to Jordan Hill regarding his presentation and asked:

"Would you be willing to share any of your favorite In-Zone Defense, Defending, or Battle drills? Also, do you have any favorite Penalty Kill drills you'd be willing to share?"

A couple of days later, he responded with the drills below. Enjoy!
