Improving your hockey game requires dedication, practice, and the right equipment. Incorporating specific training tools into your drills can significantly enhance your skills.

This article outlines essential hockey drills designed to boost your performance, using specialized equipment from Lowry Sports. Let's dive into how you can utilize these tools to elevate your game.

•  Drill Setup: Use the cones to set up an agility course. Incorporate straight sprints, zig-zags, and tight turns to mimic in-game movement.

•  Execution: Dribble a puck through the course as quickly as possible while maintaining control. This drill not only improves your agility and puck-handling skills but also your speed and reaction times on the ice. Incorporate a stopwatch to keep track of your progress and development.

Objective: Develop soft hands and puck control.

• Equipment Needed: Wooden Stick Handling Ball, Hockey Stick
• Drill Setup: No specific setup is required. This drill can be performed on any flat surface.

Perform various stickhandling moves – toe drags, around the world, figure eights – to improve your dexterity.

• Consistency is Key: Regular practice with these drills is crucial for seeing improvements.
