Steve,

Half-ice should be plenty of room for 11 players. The ABC books have a great number of examples of different ways to divide up the ice, and many are shown in the video section. I guess the big question is: What do you want to accomplish?

I'm sure with a little more info, especially what you want the players to be learning and practicing, you'll get some great suggestions on this board. A few things come to mind right away: puck-protection battles in pairs & stick-handling in the circles for skills, cross-ice games or small area games for play concepts etc.

Other questions:
* How much of the practice will be half ice?
* How many goalies will you have?

Hope this helps,
Dave
