This station drill for the Mite and Novice age levels is mostly about the fundamentals of stops & starts and control turns. We add in a shot at the end to keep the players engaged and to have something to look forward to at the end of their repetition.
Set Up
Place a net at each end of the station with a goalie (if available). Split up the players into equal lines in opposite corners. Place up to 5 cones slightly staggered down each side of the station (see diagram) and place the pucks at the and of the cones more to the middle of the ice.
On one side the players will do a two foot hockey stop and try to spray as much snow as they can on each cone. On the other side they will work on control turns. After they go through the cones they can pick up a puck and take a shot before going to the end of the other line.
