A good ice hockey practice, without the planning
Ice time is precious. A beginner practice should keep everyone skating, give each player a puck, and use small-area games so nobody waits in line.
The example below shows the shape of a beginner practice. In the app, the activities come from Takoro’s ice hockey coaching library, with set-up, coaching points and easier or harder versions for each one.
Example: a 60-minute ice hockey practice for beginners
| Part | Activity | Min | Focus |
|---|---|---|---|
| Warm-up | Skating tag in one zone | 10 | Balance and edges |
| Skills | Stops and starts, forwards and backwards | 10 | Skating |
| Skills | Stickhandling around cones, head up | 10 | Puck control |
| Skills | Stationary then moving passing in pairs | 10 | Passing |
| Game | Cross-ice 3v3 small-area game | 15 | Putting it together |
| Wrap-up | Stretch and recap | 5 | Recap |
60 minutes in total. An example of the shape only; Ask Takoro picks real activities from the library for your team.

Common questions
Does it work for half-ice or cross-ice practice?
Tell it what ice you have and use small-area activities; edit the plan on the training page if a drill needs more space.
Is it the same as field hockey?
No. Ice hockey has its own drill library; field hockey has its own page.
Where do the ice hockey activities come from?
From Takoro’s ice hockey coaching library, matched to your team’s age group. The examples on this page show the shape of a plan; the app fills it with real activities.
Can I change the plan?
Yes. Once it’s added, open the practice to swap, reorder or retime any activity.
