    • Holding Your Stick

      Start off by introducing the language and terminology to your players: the blade of the stick, the toe and the heel, and the shaft of the stick. This will help you down the road, when you tell your players you want them to carry the puck near "the center of the blade."

      As far as holding your stick, use this technique: 

      Have players hold their sticks straight up in the air with their top hand.

      Then place their bottom-hand elbow on top of their top hand and reach up the stick.

      The length of their forearm is the correct distance between their hands when they hold their stick.
