  6. Evaluation If Practices are the lessons, games are the test. How do we do on the tests? What do our players need to improve on? What do we need work on as a team? If we can not break out, why is that happening? What do we struggle with in practice?

  7. Space What Rink are we practicing on? MIA Main MIA Studio Shell How many teams are on the ice? Can we split the ice in a different way to work for what we want to accomplish?

  8. Time How many practices will you have this week? How much time will you devote to different aspects of the game? Puckhandling? Skating? Shooting? Passing Team Play SAG s

  14. Final Thoughts It is incumbent on a coach or club that their youngest players, often only 4-5 years old, develop a relationship with the ball, one where successful manipulation and retention of the ball becomes second nature. If this relationship is not developed there will be major limitations in the ability of that player to progress beyond a certain point. The demands of sophisticated tactical play will be beyond them because they will not trust their feet enough to execute the requirements.
