'Enjoy the Game'B5 – Options Using One Quarter Ice
Key Points:
When you have large groups and many goalies it is easy to divide the ice and do skills and games in smaller areas. Skating around the circle adds crossovers as well as drop pass options.
Description:
Players line up just outside of the blue line and circle the group skating and doing skills. 1-0, 2-0, 3-0 individual and partner skills can be practiced as well as situations like a 1-1, 2-1, 2-2 are created by having the players go to defense after they have attacked.
The coach can move from doing drills and then use this D7 Formation for small area games. It is helpful but not necessary to use rink dividers like a 4×4 board, pads, hose.

'Enjoy the Game'D2 King's Court Tournament 1-1 to 5-5
Key Points:
I used this tournament rotation a lot teaching sports like volleyball, badminton, basketball. Use nets, small nets, pylons or blue and red lines on the boards as nets.
After about 4 rotations you end up with the best players at one end playing each other so it is a good way to select teams as well.
You can play from 1-1 to 5-5 depending on how many games are going on at once. Have jokers that must be passed to for regroups or one timers or pass to a joker to rest.Description:
1. At least two cross ice games at once are required.2. Play cross ice games of 1-1 to 5-5 and keep score.
3. Add skill rules, regroups, player rotation rules etc.
4. When the game is over follow these steps.
a. Put the pucks in the middle lane.
b. Winners go to the King's Court side of the ice.
c. Losers go to the other side, if tied stay on the same side.
d. Now rotate clockwise but the team at the King's Court stay where they are.
e. Start the next game with a 3 stick touch NHL face-off.* if there is a dispute about who won then the winner is decided by Rock-Paper-Scissors.
