I used this stations practice formation for the first part of most on ice sessions. The group was from 8-14 years and we divided them into age and skill groups. One coach at each group reviewed what we had done off ice or in previous practices. This is a great formation to utilize the ice for giving instruction in small groups and progressing from static to moving to games. We progressed from skating to puck handling, to shooting, to passing.
