The document outlines objectives for maximizing learning, repetitions, and motivation in practice sessions. It details metrics for measuring success, including time spent on instruction and drills, and emphasizes the importance of decision-making and competition in drills. Additionally, it suggests what aspects can be removed from on-ice practice plans to enhance efficiency.

1. Planning &
Executing
Successful
Practices

2. Ice is precious

3. What are our
objectives?

4. 1.Maximize Learning
2.Maximize Repetitions
3.Promote “Inner Fire”

5. How do we measure
success?

6. • How much time did each player receive
instruction as a group?
• How much individual instruction /
encouragement / correction time did each
player receive?

7. • How many repetitions did each player get
per drill?
• How much time did each player spend
“in motion?”

8. • What percentage of drills required decision
making by the player?
• What percentage of drills included
competition?

9. An example

10. • 12 players in line
• 10 minutes to run drill
• 10 seconds per “rep”
• 2 minutes to run
through everyone
• 0:50 “in motion”
9:10 standing in line

11. • 3 players in line
• 5 minutes to run drill
• 10 seconds per “rep”
• 40 seconds to run
through everyone
• 1:15 “in motion”
3:45 standing in line

12. Question #1
What can we remove
from the (on-ice)
practice plan?

13. • Introduction of skills, tactics and systems
• Group instruction
• Review practice plan
• Puck Handling / Passing / Shooting Reps
• Conditioning
• Warm Up / Cool Down
