Lance Pitlick’s guided training system
Former NHL player Lance Pitlick has developed a top-tier method for elite stickhandling through over a decade of hands-on hockey instruction. His system—shaped by thousands of hours of on- and off-ice training—breaks down complex movements into repeatable, skill-specific drills that accelerate development.
The 5 Pillars of Fundamental Skills
• Dribbling – Quick and soft hands for reactive control
• Cupping – Shielding and protecting the puck
• Faking – Fakes: deceiving the defender with movement
• Movements – Movement combinations into offensive patterns
• Toe-to-heel technique – Advanced edge control and creativity
Pitlick Stickhandling Grid
Sharpen your spatial awareness and puck control with Lance’s signature grid drill. Set up a 3×3 cone grid and practice stickhandling sequences based on patterns that build speed, precision, and anticipation.
• Grid setup – Nine cones in a square formation, spaced 0.9 to 1.2 meters apart.
• Sequential patterns – Navigating forward, backward, and sideways.
• Speed changes – Alternate between controlled touches and quick transitions.
• Heads up – Practice heads-up scanning and peripheral awareness between cones to simulate peripheral vision.
