I know… it’s not really a “Drill or Skill,” but I had to post this!

We took our little boy (Tyler) skating for the first time this week. He’s 19 months old, so his feet are still pretty small. The only skates we could find that were small enough were the “bob” skates that have the two blades. At first he looked like Bambi out there… but then he learned to bend his knees… by the end he could take a few steps on his own before falling. The best part of all… after we finished, he wanted to go back on the ice for more! It was a proud moment for me

We got it all on tape – enjoy!

Click Here for a printout of the Figure 8 Shooting and Deflection drill that you can bring to the rink with you.

Here’s a quick and effective hockey shooting drill that incorporates shots from the points, and deflections in front of the net. I like to run this drill from both ends so the forwards get plenty of chances to execute. Encourage your defensemen to fire low, hard shots on net that the forwards will be able to deflect. This is a great game simulation drill for everybody!
