Why small ice

Small Ice. Big Development.

Sessions run on PowerPlay's 70′ × 60′ surfaces on Harvester Rd. Less space means more of the moments that actually make players better.

More Puck Touches

The puck is never far away, so every player handles it far more often than on a full sheet.

Faster Decisions

Less time and space forces players to read, react and move the puck quickly — exactly what rep hockey demands.

More Battles

Constant 1-on-1 and 2-on-2 situations along the boards and in front of the net build compete and confidence.

More Shots on Net

Every drill finishes close to the goal, so players get more quality shots every hour they're on the ice.

Better Edges

Tight turns, quick stops and constant changes of direction build agility and footwork.

No Standing Around

Small groups on a small surface keep every player moving, working and engaged the whole session.

Game-Realistic

Most real game plays happen in tight spaces near the boards and the net — not in open ice.

Proven Approach

It's the same idea behind Hockey Canada's cross-ice and half-ice games for young players: more touches, more involvement.
