Pre-Game and Pre-Practice Routines
Below are the procedures that will be followed prior to each game and practice.
Key Points
Games - Parents are only allowed in the dressing room 20 minutes prior to game time to tie skates.
Practices - All parents are to be out of the dressing room when the zamboni comes on the ice (or 10 minutes prior to practice) to allow the coach to review the practice plan with the players prior to hitting the ice.
Pre-Game Routine
- 45 minutes before game time - Players at rink and get dressed without skates
- 30 minutes before game time – Players do pre-game warmup
- 20 minutes before game time – Parents come in & tie skates
- 15 minutes before game time – Players prep for game & coach does pre-game talk
Pre-Practice Routine
- All players are to be completely dressed and ready by the time the zamboni comes on the ice
- The coach will be going over the practice in the dressing room prior to going on the ice. Ice time is costly so explaining the drills to the players in the dressing room maximizes the use of icetime
- Practices start at 5:15 so all of the parents are to be out of the dressing room by 5:05.
