This practice plan starts with 20 or so minutes of skating skills. These drills are straight from Victor Kraatz's course Building the Foundation of Skating. I've got each skill I want to teach written down so I don't forget.
While the skating is happening, our goalies will both be with my goalie coach, Nathan Lieuwen, working on basic movements and ensuring they're ready to start practice. They should come away from this with a standard sequence they do on their own at the start of every practice.
Once the skating is done, we're going to get into passing, specifically how it applies to zone entries and offensive zone play. The players will love this - I love this, and it's all from my new pal Tobias Johansson's presentation at this year's TCS Live, The Benefits of Playing Small Area Games Without Goalies.
I'm going to use one goalie at a time for these drills while the other goalie gets some 1on1 time with Nathan.
