Post Practice Plan Analysis
Evaluate success of drills, did they achieve skill set?Too easy or difficult
Overall objectives met?Unsuccessful drills…why?What player(s) and/or team weaknesses exposedAny special preparation needed for next practice
When player interest is high, learning rate increases & practices are more successful:
Routines become dangerous & cause players to pace themselves & become boredChange [warm-up] drills & encourage creativity

Practicing by the Numbers
EACH GAME:Players will have puck on stick for an average of 10+/- seconds
80% of all individual puck possessions last 3+/- secondsPlayers will take an average of 2+/- shots99% of coaches feedback given when players have puck, ironically players only have puck on stick for 2%+/-
EACH PRACTICE:One (1) efficient practice will give players more skill development than 10+/-games collectivelyEach player should have puck on stick for minimum of 10+/- minutes every practiceEach player should have a minimum of 25+/- shots on goal per practiceNo more than 5+/- minutes spent in front of chalk board each practice
