Our favorite drill to run in practice is shoot the scooch. It consists of our star chokey goalie, scoochie, skating side to side on the ice while the whole team peppers him with slapshots. Now this may seem like a cruel and not very team like thing to do, but I guarantee you it is a necessity both for the skaters and for him. In the goalie side, he slowly becomes more immune to being shot from all angles and it also lets the skates blow off steam and frustrations against scoochie and all the goals he allows. After we run a scoochie drill, the whole team takes him out to have his favorite ice cream, as a reward for putting up withe punishment. As much as I'd love to keep this drill once he retires, I feel it is unfair to our newcomer goalie, since they will probably be an upgrade over scoochie. That being said we love scoochie and hope he can clutch in the playoffs.
