Thursday’s, August 27th 7:15 PM Practice

Focus: Skating and Checking

We will spend time building confidence with skating and learning how to take a check and some work on giving a check. Finish the practice with small games - what is learned earlier will be applied to the small games.

NOTE. For every min late on ice, two min of shift time will be lost during the next scheduled game. Acceptions are made for running late due to traffic, parking problems or other pre-scheduled conflicts.

Plan:

  • Arrival at rink is 6:30 PM.

  • Pickup Black and White Practice Jersey

  • Stretching (6:35 to 6:55)

  • Dress starting at 6:55 PM

  • On ice 7:15 PM
