Reply To: Warm up on ice before the game.

[Tom Molloy]

When I coached my son's teams we used the 5 min. warm up time like this.

1 min. everyone with a puck handling it all around the body.
1 min. Wingers shoot in a semi circle while D and C partner pass in the nzone cross ice.
1 min. Switch and D and C shoot.
90" 2 F dump the puck in one corner and D make Breakout pass, the F's turn at the red line and attack 2-1 vs. D. When they start the attack do the same thing in the other corner.
30" all line up along the boards and do a hard cross ice sprint across and back.

– all pick up the pucks and start the game.
