"Medic First Aid", is a conditioning and skating station that challenges all players. Coaches partner up players based on size and body weight. On the whistle, one partner pulls their partner, who is laying flat on their back with their arms extended over the head and hands grabbing the stick. The standing partner is skating backwards holding the other end of the stick. Partner pulls occur from the goal line to the blue line and around a cone and then back to the goal line where partners switch roles. Coaches determine the number of sets.


Teaching Points

Backwards Skating: Powerful C-cuts with both legs, maintain balance by having good posture with deep knee bend, straight back, head up. Attempt not to swing the player out to the side and work in a straight line. The skating player can also use backwards crossovers at times.
