Reply To: Looking for new U8 half ice drills

[Tom Molloy]

Aberdeen here are some links for drills and games that fit the 8 year olds. Progress as far as the players are ready. I am also posting 20 model practices for beginners.

D – Games to Teach the Game

Games played full ice, cross ice, small area, etc., are the key to the ABC coaching model.
In games the players are in continually changing game situations and game playing roles.
Keep score, modify rules, create situations that your team needs to practice.

B – Partner and Team Skill Practice

B section are skill drills with partners working together or the whole team doing the skill drills together. Where they start on the ice determines the number in the B codiing system.
