I have no idea how to do the St.Louis Blues Drill

[srv2miker 0]

Okay,

#1 I've never played organized hockey, I've only taken up the game as an adult

#2 I've taken lessons, so I can skate etc. but I don't know the standard drills.

#3 My new team (1st season ever) is practising next week, and we're going to do the St.Louis Blues drill as a part of it.

So.

What the hell is it? I'd rather look dumb to you guys than look dumb on the ice.

I think this is the drill you may be talking about.

Our team calls it corners or st. louie.

That one looks easy enough to figure out. I get confused just watching some of the drills while teams are warming up.

The coach from HNA when I done their beginners classes called that drill the Montreal.

Corners, or our team called it bear (we named all our warmup drills so there would be some variety)

My team does that drill in warm-ups before each game. We call it "horse shoe". It's really easy. You should get it after doing it once or twice. It looks confusing with all the arrows, but when you press the play button, that link diagrams it well.

One of the easiest drills out there. In our area it's called "the banana". If you still don't understand, put yourself at the back of the line and watch a few teammates do it first. You will catch on fast

Same here, 'horseshoe' or even sometime 'half horseshoe'

We call it the horseshoe down here. It's not difficult at all, I can't imagine this is what he's talking about.

I'm going to take a guess and he's referring to one of the more complex drills.

One that confused a lot of people that is simple to learn is this one(the name escapes me at the moment): The puck is dumped in. The goalie can play it if he wants to and the defense takes it up to the blue line and passes to one of the three forwards(simulating a turnover). The D transitions back to defense and the forwards take it in 3-on-2.

EDIT:

Actually the drill that is called "montreal" around here is a full ice version of that drill. You skate to the far blue line, start to turn back to the red line, take a pass from the guys in the opposite corner and head back to shoot at the net in the end where you started.

weird, i learned it as 'the wisconsin drill'

[jeffw 1]

Montreal drill, that's the typical pre game warm up for most teams around here.

[Spreedizzle 1]

Always been horeseshoes for me. Or we double up with the forwards coming out of the corners....one sweeping high and one curling low, high man receives pass and the two forwards pass it back and forth looking for an open shot.

I always heard Montreal drill, or 'corners' is pretty obvious.

Short horseshoe round here, basic pass shoot drill.

[srv2miker 0]

This turned out to be way more complicated than I planned. Can I assume that the 'montreal' is the same as 'st.louie' which I think is the St.Louis blues drill, which is the half-horsehoe?

I've been playing organized hockey for thirty years and I've never heard of a "St. Louis Blues" drill, but I've probably done it thousands of times. Drills have different names from region to region, town to town, even coach to coach. Do yourself a favor and just ask the person who is going to be running practice about the drill. There's no reason to feel dumb about it.

I was raised referring to that drill as the Half-Ice Horseshoe. I never realized that it was actually called corners. Either myself or another captain just sorta shouted "Corners!" as a piece of instruction. Makes sense though.

"pretzel drill"

You must play at the same rinks I grew-up in.
