FUN
Approximately 80% of the stations 'Secondary' focus also
involves Skating, Stickhandling and Shooting.  And 10% of
the 'Secondary' skills are focused on the introduction to
angling and body contact.
('Secondary' skills are skills performed
along with the execution of the 'Primary' skill.)
Note: Even though it appears that there is little focus on
FUN... It is critical!  There are a few stations aimed at
pure FUN, however the coaches attitude and drill variation
before player boredom sets in is critical to an enjoyable
hockey practice experience.
Target rotating young players between stations every 5-6
minutes and older players up to 12 minutes.  You will notice
that at 5-6 minutes there is not a lot of time for verbal
instruction... Don't bother.  Line them up- demonstrate and
correct mistakes as the drill is running.
