next challange: travel ice

im graduating this year and its my last chance to join a travel team

so i'm picking up some skates and hitting pickup and stick/puck all summer to get ready

any suggestions?

I think adjusting to body checks will require the biggest adjustment. Less dangle and more brut force.

Well...that and off-sides and icing.

Work on stoping this summer. This will be one of your biggest challenges in the skating department.

Go out there and work on the basics and see what you need the most work on. Quick starts and stops, pivots, your edges, quick feet, forward and backwards skating w/without crossovers, etc. Good luck.

lots of game play, lots of stick-time sessions where you can work on stuff, a simple drill like playing keep away with a puck from someone else in a faceoff circle for a few minutes will help you just react without thinking as you make the transition..

work on low shots. roller has a greater percentage of high shots. also work on lateral movement while standing. IMO it is easier on Ice.

I also went from roller to ice and stopping was a big thing I had to work on. It also defiantly takes time to get us to checking.
