More and more teams just use two colours in practice. This makes it easy to run games and drills with half the D and half the F wearing each colour. I like to hear how everyone plays every position in practice. It is a good way for all players to know how to play a defensive 1-1 etc.

If you want lines to work together on team play such as breakouts, dzone, specialty teams, you simply have them wearing the same colour.

Have 5 pinnies which are a different colour that one line can wear if you are in units for part of a practice. I am assuming you have about 15 skaters. If u have 20 skaters like college and pro teams then 2 colours is perfect.

If you look at the video section of team play practices most of them with pro and college teams are with 2 colours only. It works a lot better to have white attackers vs dark defenders and visa versa.
