Creative Prompt

Coach gave us the green light to have something akin to fun as long as we practice some hockey skills. What we have decided to do is have a series of mini challenges like you might see in the all-star game. We are doing fastest skater, best passer, shooting accuracy and finishing off by running the gauntlet. First off, we need some teams and it is decided that we will have two forwards and one defenseman on each team; the defenders will be captains and draft forwards in a snake draft. The teams are set and we start with the fastest skater relay; skaters line up beside the bench and once they are off the next skater jumps onto the ice ready to take off when the lap is finished. Even after a long gruelling practice under us, the relay is heated and our rookie BK anchors his team to the first win. The shooting accuracy is fun because not all of us can shoot like those in the all-star games. However, resident sniper AJ goes four for four and wins it for his team. The gauntlet has skaters skate up the boards from blue-line to blue-line and try not to get knocked down by the opposing players. Yours truly wins that competition and thanks to BK we win the whole tournament.
