4 stations x 6-7 minutes
Break up into four groups of 3-4 players.
Players do popcorn (drop to their knees and up) 5 times before moving to the next activity.
Coaches distribute water at each station as kids arrive.

Station 1: Backwards Bumper Butts
Players skate backwards and attempt to run into each other knocking the others off balance. Everyone should begin with their hands on their knees. If a player is knocked down or their hands leave their knees, they are out. Last player standing wins.

Station 2: Loose puck race w/ puck carry and Pass
On coaches whistle, players skate with puck around first three cones. After third cone, player immediately passes puck at the cone next to barrier. If player hits the cone with the pass they get 1 point. After passing the puck, players continue around last cone and race to the puck in the center that the coach placed there. First player to the puck tries to score and second backchecks. If player scores, they get another point. Try to keep score. Focus on making pass right after going around the cone and on moving feet after pass. They should use their backhand if they come around the cone on their backhand. Players should change lines after each race.

Station 3: Pass between the cones
If only 3 players play 2-on-1 and switch around. Goal is to teach kids to create passing lanes. Get a point each time players are able to make a pass between the cones. The pass has to be a completed pass.

Station 4: Tight space game 1-on-1, 1-on-2 or 2-on-2
Change every 30 seconds. Coach may have to join game. Score by putting puck through standing tire.

Notes: total time should be about 30 minutes
