Stickhandling Warm Up Series
The Stickhandling Warm Up Series is a simple but helpful exercise that helps players warm up their hands before practice or a game. This can be setup as a station or half-ice setup. Players can work up and down the ice or you can allow them to move anywhere in a specified area.
