Triangle Tag

https://vimeo.com/626560889

Triangle Tag is a simple and fun activity that helps players practice skating, edgework, puck control & on-ice awareness. This activity can be modified in a variety of ways depending on the age & skill level of your players.

Setup

All players get their own puck
Coaches (or players) are designated as "taggers" and do not have a stick. The more taggers, the more challenging it is for the players.
On the whistle, the skaters try to navigate the ice and stay away from the taggers.
If tagged, a player must stop and raise their hand and keep their stick on the ice.
Other skaters can untag a player by stickhandling through their triangle.
Players should keep track of how many people they untag!
Activity should go for 45-60 seconds.

Variations

Can be set up in different areas of the ice (half-ice, a zone, or a station)
Can use players instead of coaches as the taggers.
Can add more taggers to make it more challenging for the skaters.
Can make the area of the ice smaller to make it more challenging for the skaters.
Players can keep track of how many people they untag (player with the most untags wins the round!)
