We had our first night of practice and I ran both sessions. There were 25 skaters in the first and 21 in the second. A girl from Italy is practicing with us and thought she could do both sessions but she skated so much in the first one that she was too tired to do two.\\

As usual I made a few changes to the plan. We had a 2-2 and 3 – 3 quick transition game at each end instead of the 5-5 and 6-6 skill games. Ice time one it was two 3-3 games and ice time two one of each. We also added a 3-2 to the transition game. The first session we played 5-5 and they changed on their own and the second was 4-4.

I was pleasantly surprised at the skill level of the new players trying out. We should be ok.
