Drill Spotlight - D1 NCAA Shooters

Save shots from D1 NCAA shooters in NHL Sense Arena's new drills 

The Setup

Players rotate rapidly through shooting stations, each designed to challenge a different scoring skill—catch-and-shoot, one-timers, and deceptive releases. Passes come from multiple angles, forcing quick adjustments.

The Goal

Recreate the chaos of a real scoring chance: pressure from defenders, minimal time to think, and the need to hit your target. By the end, players are sharper, faster, and more confident when the puck’s on their stick.

Why It Works

These drills develops not just mechanics, but decision-making under fire. It’s about training your brain and your hands to work together at top speed—exactly what separates NCAA shooters from the rest.
