Last practice before our two games on the weekend. Some players arrive a little late as it is at 4 and many get out of school 30 min. earlier. Started with one goalie and 13 skaters and 15 minutes in all 15 skaters and both goalies were there. Focus was on good playing habits like gaining the big ice between the dots, pass and follow the pass and take the ice behind, isolate the widest defender and create 2-1's, back pressure and create defensive 2-1's, box out, seal sticks to the outside, use escape moves to gain time and space.
I will post video of the passing warm up drills.
