Two Puck
A fun, competitive game to close out practice. Start just inside the ringette line with two pucks. Shoot the first, then go on a breakaway with the second.

A simple yet effective warm-up to get players moving with control. Keep the puck directly in front of your body, always on the forehand. Use your hips and shoulders to guide the puck smoothly through each turn. For an extra challenge, try the same drill using just one hand on the stick.
