Stations for Practice 1

Station 1:

Players start in the corner with a puck. The skate around the top of the circle and take a shot on net. They then continue around the other circle and receive a pass. Two options on second one, a quick shot or come across the net and try to go around the goalie and go bar down.

Can mix it up with having the players pivot around the second circle so they are facing the puck.

Station 2: Center ice area - one side

Set up a small area for the kids to play keep away. Focus on puck protection and shielding the puck. Have kids start the sequence with a couple of passes back and forth, and then say go. Rotate kids out each 30 to 45 seconds.

Station 3: Center ice area - other side - with a net but no goalie

Kids start facing each other. First player in line starts skating backwards and first two in line pass back and forth. After player approaches pylon, they pivot to do an escape move around the pylon and shoot on net. They then set up for a second shot and receive another pass from the person in line. Focus on second shot is a quick release.
