Midget Hockey includes players ages 16 and under, 18 and under, and those who play High school Hockey. These ages include some of the most skilled players who are able to handle very rigorous practices with difficult drills and systems. As they must be very conditioned for practices of high intensity, make sure they have a clear off-ice workout schedule. Drills and systems in these practices should become more fast-paced and complex. Try to implement drills and systems that are challenging and new to the players so it is easier for them to stay interested and focused during practices. Players of higher age levels will not be motivated to practice if it becomes repetitive and boring. Need Help Searching for Drills?

In this edition of Chalk-Talk, we introduce layered or combination drills for Peewee to Midget-aged players where they utilize multiple skills in game-like situations. These drills provide an opportunity for players to understand and reinforce when and where to use the technical and tactical skills taught in practice. One of the biggest challenges for coaches is not only to provide a solid foundation of technical skills in practice and repetition but at the same time provide game-like drills and situations.

NOTE: winger can swing from top down, or from bottom up, depending on your team's breakout set up. If your wingers need help making plays along the wall in the defensive zone, then this is a good hockey drill which gives players a lot of repetitions in this situation. Form two lines with pucks at the hash marks on opposite ends of the ice as shown in the diagram. The line should face the goal line. Just to start the drill place a player at the blue line with a puck.
