Q.) Who enters Practices and Game information for our teams?
Unless otherwise directed, all practice information that is scheduled by Blaine Youth Hockey will be uploaded by the Ice Scheduler and Web Administrator for your team.
Team Managers will be responsible for entering their Teams Games on to their schedules. Due to changes that take place at the District level it is very important that you verify your games against the District 10 website and periodically recheck those dates. www.district10hockey.orgQ.) Can I just delete a date off of our team's schedule?
NO, Team Managers & Coaches need to be aware that if you delete a date on your schedule that is shared with another team you delete that date from their schedule too. The proper action to take if you are sharing ice is to edit the schedule record and remove/blank your team from the drop down box. In turn this will not delete the date off of the other teams schedule. Otherwise is gets messy. If you need help contact the Ice Scheduler or send a note to the Web Admin.Q.) How do we schedule Meetings, Outings, or other Events that don't require us to be on the ice?
You'll want to schedule meetings, outings, and other general events by adding a General Event to your team schedule.
1.) Log in as Team Manager or Coach
2.) From the ADMIN: Page select ADD GENERAL EVENT from the Scheduling Box
3.) Enter the Start Date, Start Time and Finish Date, Finish Time. If entering a date range (11/10 - 11/13) you can leave the time fields blank.

You will need to find your opponents team in the OUTSIDE: dropbox. Please look first before typing in an opponents team name again.

Help each other! Find a team page that is looking good, pick up the phone, call the team manager responsible for that page, and ask them for some helpful advise. If we all work with each other we can have a great website that looks good and is full of good useful information!

This list of the 5 best hockey conditioning drills will get you and your team ready for the toughest workout in sports: a lightning-fast on-ice shift in the game of hockey. The best hockey conditioning drills improve both stamina and agility. You can be sure your team will improve after going through this list of the 5 best hockey conditioning drills.
Eagle Pulls - The first of our list of 5 best hockey conditioning drills involves two players, one in front and one in back. Beginning at the goal line, the player in front pulls the other as each holds onto two hockey sticks. Skate hard to the opposite goal line dragging the other player behind, then switch to come back so both players get a workout.
The Murder Drill - The coach stands off of the ice and blows the whistle at intervals. The players sprint hard between whistle blows. The coach increases the interval, beginning at five seconds, adding five seconds each go-round, until players are sprinting for a full minute. It is murder, but it'll get your team in shape quick.
Z Drills - This is one of the most widely used on our list of 5 best hockey conditioning drills. The player skates hard to the blue line, stops, then crosses over to the opposite side of the rink by putting one foot over the other quickly instead of gliding. Then skate hard to the red line, stop, and cross over to get back to the other boards. Repeat at every line until the blue line. This is one of the most intense hockey conditioning drills out there.
Sprint and Stop - Begin at one goal line. Sprint to the near blue line, stop, sprint back to the goal line. Then back to the red line, stop, back to the goal line. Then to the far blue line, and finally to the opposite goal line. To make this one of the best hockey conditioning drills it is important to sprint the whole way.
One on Zero With Backchecker - A fun drill because a puck is involved, this is also one of the best hockey conditioning drills as it encourages sprinting. Have one player, with puck, begin at the red line, and another player, the pursuer, begin at the far blue line. Blow the whistle. The player with the puck tries to score, the other player pursuing to steal the puck. Once again, it's only one of the best hockey conditioning drills if you sprint the whole way.
