Instructions

1 Start at one goal line.

2 Go toward the other goal line, skating at full speed.

3 Drop down onto your knees at the first blue line. Pop back up to your feet before the red line.

4 Start back the other way when you reach the opposite goal line. Do this without resting.

5 Drop flat onto your belly at the first blue line this time. Pop back up to your feet, trying to get up before the red line but definitely before the blue line.

6 Repeat four times.

One Skates

1 Start at one goal line, skating hard toward the other goal line.

2 Lift your right skate off the ice at the first blue line. Hold it as high on your side as possible.

3 Wiggle your left skate from side to side to give yourself forward momentum, while your right skate is off the ice.

4 Skate on one foot until you get to the opposite goal line.

5 Keep your leg up until you come to a full stop if you can't make it all the way.

6 Skate back, this time lifting your left skate off the ice at the first blue line.

7 Repeat twice.

Knee Ups

1 Start at one goal line, skating hard toward the other goal line.

2 Lift your right knee to your chest at the first blue line.

3 Put your stick around the front of your knee pad to hold your knee high. Your foot should as far off the ice as you can get it.

4 Hold this position until you reach the next blue line and then skate normally to the goal line.

5 Skate back, this time using your left knee.

6 Repeat four times.
