Pee Wee Skater Compete Session
The COMPETE sessions give players an opportunity during in-tight competitions to showcase their strengths and weaknesses more quickly than a scrimmage style of evaluation. During a game, players can tend to hide or blend in when on the ice with 11 other players. With this style of competition, all players will be seen by the Evaluators and given a fair chance to display their talents.

STATION 1 - Triple 1v1 - F on D
The Drill:
- Coach has pucks at blue line in centre of ice.
- Three F's line up as shown with F1 at blueline; F2 at half wall and F3 in the corner.

STATION 2 - Basic 1 v 1 - F on D
The Drill:
- F1 begins by skating around pylon by red line then back towards blue line making a pass to F2; goes around pylon at blueline getting a return pass from F2. F1 then continues down ice to try to score on the D.
- D leaves at the same time as F1 skating backwards to pylon at blueline; pivoting to forward to pylon at red line; then pivoting again to backwards and defending against F1 coming down.
Drill sets up similar on the opposite side of the ice. Those players will go when the opposite side pairing is finished.
After each time, players switch sides of the ice so they are evaluated from both sides of the ice.
