I agree with DaveM about keeping the lines consistent. I have 9F and 6D on our roster

Our kids really enjoy the SAG's so we tend to go with only 2 colours for practices; but how do you go about building line chemistry during practice when splitting the colours do not allow for lines or pairings during SAG and transition games?

Iceman said it best, support the site – it's worth it (I look through my thumb-drive daily!)

Gentlemen, thank you all for the kind words.

I also have 6D and 9F also and each line has a colour and I put green pinnies on a few from one of the other lines to make it 8-7. Sometimes an affiliate plays and I often get my asst. coaches to play and even off the teams. I have reversables on order and they should get here soon. Then I will have a set of pinnies of a different colour when we are doing some team play things. I have green pinnies now and have to get some red ones because our colours are green and white.

My team was doing spin on the bikes beside a soccer team having a practice that was very similar to my on ice session last night. They were playing 2 touch with jokers on the side and it was amazing how well they moved the ball. It was indoor and later they moved the nets closer to restrict time and space and played 3 on 3.
