Discussed ice for 3:3 league this summer or open hockey o Apparently some attendees of the open hockey last summer were disenfranchised with it due to a lack of structure surrounding the open time o The Board agreed that structured open hockey would be welcomed this summer, if someone capable would agree to oversee it.
Overspeed There has been a general desire to reimplement overspeed from some ERRA members Glen Nesper joined in to discuss practice structure under old overspeed program: o Portion of each practice dedicated to overspeed and instructional skating o Portion of each practice dedicated to systems and skills o Weekly skills night, where there would be 30 minutes of structure and 45 minutes of “pond hockey” o Overspeed drills consist basically of 15 seconds full-speed, 45 second rest. 5 clock minutes dedicated for 5 reps (basic drills). 10 clock minutes for 10 reps (more complex drills) Board of Directors conceptually supports overspeed with a balanced approach with other skills.
