teamriot38 0 Report post Posted January 11, 2006 At our local rink they're having a meet and greet with the local AHL team and a hockey 101 skate for kids. I'm talking like midget/pee wee ages and many of them have never played before. I live in nebraska so there's not many kids that play. I've been assigned to think up some fun games for the kids to play while they're out on the ice. Any suggestions. I'm thinking along the lines of half court shooting, relays, etc. That sort of thing. I'm just stumped. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Eazy_b97 1 Report post Posted January 11, 2006 They are fairly old at that age, so play some tag games, hockey baseball, mini-games.Tag -> start with 3 people who are "it". All the players are at one end, except the ones who are "it". Blow the whistle, the players who aren't "it" try to get through the bluelines without being tagged. If they are tagged, they also become "it". Hockey baseball --> Split into 2 teams. One player is "up to bat" and the rest of his team is behind him in line to bat. The other team is "in the field". The batter shoots the puck from infront of the net towards the other team. The defending team gets the puck, makes 3 passes to eachother, then has to shoot it into the net before the player goes around the bases. For bases set-up pylons at the bluelines in a 1st, 2nd and 3rd like manner. Make the net home plate. MiniGames --> Take the nets and move them board to board so the surface is smaller, play either 2 on 2 or 3 on 3 and make it "King of the Court" where the winner (say first to score) stays.

pldhockey4 0 Report post Posted January 11, 2006 another fun game is called stanley cup. 2 or 3 player teams who all play vs each other at the same time. if your group scores they sit down, if they dont they keep playing till 1 team who hasnt scored is left. they are then eliminated and you do it all over till 1 group wins it all.. another way to paly is to just tally up the goals or the 1st group to 5 wins.

You could also just let all the kids chase the puck in a massive shinny game and see if anyone takes to it really well... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
teamriot38 0 Report post Posted January 12, 2006 OK, maybe something thats not potentially lethal. LOL! I was thinking stuff like glove tag and such. Remember that most of these kids have never played organized hockey and hardly know how to skate Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Crazy Otto 0 Report post Posted January 12, 2006 Sharks and minnows: used to do this one when my kid was little. Everyone puts their sticks away on the benches. Players are the minnows, they line up behind one goal line. The coaches are the sharks, they are between the two blue lines.On the whistle, the minnows have to skate to the other goal line without being caught by the sharks. Next whistle, they skate back to the other end. When you're caught, you become a shark. Keep going from one end to the other on the whistle until no minnows are left.
