For our 10 and under program we use a Cross Ice format for our program.
The aim of the Cross-ice program is to encourage an environment in which the children can learn the basic skills without the distraction that is often associated with an over emphasis on winning.
· The objectives of the Cross Ice program is:
· Stress participation, fun and skill development
· To provide a step towards a full-ice program
· Modify the playing environment to meet the needs of younger players
· Increase opportunities for younger players to touch and handle the puck
· Increase the practice to game ratio to a minimum of three practices to one game
· Provide a positive environment for learning the fundamental skills of hockey
· Improve the utilization of ice time
“It makes no sense for kids to play organized games until they have reasonable mastery of skating, puck handing, passing and shooting.”
