    Stick and puck sessions, drop-in / pick-up games. Best way to get better is practise.

    I like playing ice hockey against roller hockey players. It is really different. I suggest that you go skating a lot, you obviously have the hands and shot but skating is the toughest to gain back.

  • hockey monster:

    u have to practice skating quick with the puck in control. try stickhandeling and in succession in place with your head up it sounds stupid but it works. Make sure your hands are stickhandeling at a slower pace then your feet
