A fun race that works on edges, tight turns around the nets and body positioning to create separation.
Setup
- Set up 2 nets in close proximity (anywhere on the ice is fine)
- 2 or 3 different groups of players
- Have group one laying on the ice and on the whistle they have to race each other around the nets twice
- While that group is racing, get the next group ready to go (laying down on the ice)
- Once group one finishes, the second group goes on the whistle
Coaching Points
- Working on tight turns around the net and accelerating out of turns
- Skating while trying to maintain body positioning on your opponents
- Taking good angles to win races
Variations
- Left Turn
- Right Turn
- Figure 8
- Backwards
