Hockey at your school for PE?

[barrett 0]

We always have our little games on free days. Never a unit though. On average I'd say we play about 2-3 times a month. Last year we had a ringette unit , that was fun since I was the only real hockey player in my class and the dangles are so much easier. I had 22 goals one game .

When I went to Exeter, we had hockey as PE in two fashions.

During our freshman year (which was our Prep year), unless someone could make a JV or Varsity team, they had to take something called Prep Spaz. We met four times a week and had an introduction to all sports. That was a lot of fun, although the fitness craze hadn't hit in America yet, so most of us hated all the calisthenics and running they made us do. Whenever I've visited in the past ten years, the weight room is often packed, so I'm guessing the kids are in better shape than we were.

After our Prep year, everyone had to play a sport, and there were three levels: Club (intramurals), JV or Varsity. I wasn't good enough at hockey to make either of the competitive teams, so I played Club hockey.

In my HS we dont play it instead we take a 8 week swimming session. We played back in 8th grade with the plastic sticks, I broke 4 in one day and the teacher said "I was putting to much loft on the blade." I was pretty much trying to make a drury/Lidstrom blade. So after that day we were allowed to bring in our own sticks, and that made everything so much better.

we had something once, its was with the plastic sticks (only RH, i play lefty, so you have to phisically bend the plastic into the right shape) and plastic pucks on a one of those slippery gym floors, an it was basically a shoot-out with 5 pucks in a horshoe shape, well at least my highschool has a team (but u gotta pay $500 just to get in)

$500 is CHEAP for highschool man, I payed over a grand for the season, plus extra for tourneys, plus $155 for jerseys/socks..

Anyways, weather permitting back when I was in highschool Friday was always outside day. The fat girls and nerds would walk the track, the prep kids played football or baseball, and then there was a group of ten or 12 of us scratching the hell out of the tennis court with the infamous plastic Mylec sticks and balls.

Plus, some of my best memories of highschool were during fall and winter when pretty much my whole varsity team plus other kids from the school would get together saturday mornings and play ball hockey 'long ways' across three ajoining tennis courts. Such a good time.

Thanks ;)

$500 may be cheap for a competiteve team, but my school doesnt have one of those, its a just a hockey club

we would never have ice hockey in PE over here :( we have field hockey though and this one time it rained and so we all went inside and played with the mylec sticks and an orange puck, no goals just turned a table on its side lol so i had fun then :D broke 4 sticks in an hour trying slap shots :P

just yesterday it came out in the paper here that one of the local high schools will be offering and all hockey phys.ed class next year. 2 days on ice and 3 days in the gym doing fitness training. where was this 5 years ago when i was in high school. i could just see it now:

First period:Hockey

Second period:wood shop

Lunch

Third period:auto shop

Fourth Period:law

that would actually have made me want to go to school.

HighSchool Hockey

This year in the first semester at our school, we had a class called "Hockey Skills". Some days we would be on the ice for half hour, some fourty five minutes, some two hours. Other days we'd be in the gym, working out. We had two coaches on the ice, one was Blake Wesley and the other was Rich Kromm (both ex NHL players).
