I am a 15 year old girl, who has never played hockey before but would like to start what are good drills?

I have played soccer and basketball for over 10 years, I would love to start playing hockey but i’ve never played before, I am improving my skating skills but could use some good tips and drills to do to get in shape and ready for next years season. Esepcially with puck handling, skating, and how to get into the game.

I started off very similarly. One thing I wish I had known how to do though was stop. I had no idea how to my first few months and it was very difficult for me to catch up with the other girls. Also I wish I had watched more women play. If you want to really examine the women’s game and see a top notch player, I would look up Angela Ruggiero on Youtube. She has excellent position, and has some of the fastest shots in the womens hockey world. Sorry back to drills. I would go out in my drive way and use a golf ball. Pass it back and forth around your body, and try not to look at it. Another good drill for stick handling is doing figure eights with a ball. For skating I would try doing some snowplows (stoping with your feet turned at a certain angle I would youtube this), then work up to a full hockey stop. I would also practice cross overs and backwards skating. The last thing I would do is read. A good book about girls hockey is Gold Medal Ice Hockey For Women and girls by Kating King and Trisha Dunn. They look into what it takes to be a good player on any position, and the fundementals of the game

Is it illegal to mAke people stay at a certain hotel when they come to play in your hockey tournament?


It depends on the wording of a team’s contract as part of attending the tournament. In many cases it’s part of a contract which means it’s enforceable. Unless the hotel is completely substandard or does not have acceptable accommodation (i.e. double rooms were promised and single rooms were delivered).

This is part of a bigger sausage-making process.

Host team tries to procure sponsorships to hopefully be profitable or at least break even during a tournament. Otherwise, the costs for teams to play in the tournament would be much higher. The host team has to pay for ice time, officials, pucks, and any giveouts/handouts that are part of hosting. Ideally, the tournament would make money that would be churned back into the hockey team and/or its parent group.

Hotel(s) commit to offering rooms at a discounted rate in turn for being promised "X" number of rooms (plus, in many cases the hotel(s) will agree to pay a rebate to the tournament host for every room purchased…much like a commission, if you will). A hotel will contract with the tournament, and hold rooms for said tournament, potentially turning away business from other sources. In turn for doing this the hotel is promised the business and has a contract from the tournament stipulating that they will, in effect, buy "X" number of rooms for "Y" nights.

Logistically, forfeiting a team that spent money to travel to a tournament but stayed at the non-contracted hotel is brutal and optically looks bad, but it’s been done. It’s definitely the worst-case scenario.

Back to the sausage-making process…at some point your minor hockey team/association will host a tournament and likely make the same stipulations to visiting teams.

Whats the oldest you can be play junior hockey?

I am almost 20 years old and i have received an email asking me to try out for the SEJHL and cannot decided if i could play for them or not. They have players my age in the Teir III. Please help?!?!

The day you turn 21 you are officially aged out and can’t play anymore. So if you are turning 21 before March, they aren’t going to want you.

List of hockey players who have passed away while in the NHL?

When Boogard passed away I thought I’d do a drawing for him but I never got around to it. Now that Rypien passed away I thought I’d do a big drawing dedicated to all the hockey players who have passed away while playing in the NHL. Who should I add? Since I’ve only been watching the NHL for a year I don’t know too many people besides Briere, Bourdon, Boogard, and Rypien.
