*Due to the fact that not all rinks are the same size, each specific drill will be measured out to ensure fairness for all competitors.

Legend

 

Hardest Shot

• Players will take two shots from 20 feet away from the net.

• Players may take a skating start from the blue line or shoot from a stop position

• The score will be the best of the two shots

• The tiebreaker, if needed, will go to the player who has the second hardest shot recorded

 

Shooting Accuracy

•8 pucks will be positioned 20 feet from the net.

• The player must stand behind the 20 foot line while shooting.

• Players will be judged on how many pucks hit the targets and the time it takes to shoot all 8 pucks, with a maximum time of 20 seconds.

• The players can hit any target as many times as they wish.

• The tiebreaker, if needed, will be the player who shot their eight pucks the fastest.

 

Fastest Skater

• 2 players will compete at the same time. Each player will start at the opposite side of the rink.

• Players must start completely behind the centre line. Not part of their body, including stick, may be across the line before the start.
- Players will restart on a false start
- If a player has a false start for a second time they will receive no points for the fastest skater event.

• Timers will supply a starting cadence: Ready, set, Go, and blow the whistle on go.

• On the whistle the players will skate in a counter-clockwise direction.

• The skater’s entire body must go around the cones. Including stick

• The time will stop once any part of the player’s body (not including stick) crosses the centre line that they started at.
