Fire Black Practice Plan – 10-21-23 – 10-22-23
Time: 19:30-20:45 Arena: ECTAS

Lines: 12 F, 6 F, 2 G
Notes: Cassie Campbell was guest coach and worked a lot with the D. 1-1 with D no sticks is a great way to teach body focus and D side. Small horseshoe is the best pass while skating and receive drill I have come across. Low plays are very effective to create offense.

Small horseshoe – 1-0, 2-0, 3-0
Shot then angle check at each end
1-1 defense with no sticks
Fwd – 3-0 pass east west behind ant to slot
