The Fun Ways!

Hey everybody, if you read the introduction article you know what the "Fun Ways" are. If you don't then the "Fun Ways" are the most fun ways you can get better at hockey. My personal favorite way is to play street hockey with you're friends. All you need is a street hockey ball or puck, roller or inline skates(optional), something to make up a goal or a goal, and two teams made up of friends! That is the most effective and fun way I think. It gets you to learn the sport better( as long as you're playing the correct rules), run around, get some excersize, play with you're friends, practice you're shooting and stick handling skills. Also you get more comfortable shooting the puck or ball while in motion(skating or running).
        Another fun way to get better is to get a hockey goal, or a target, some hockey pucks, baseballs, lacrosse balls and shoot on the goal or target. Pick which kind of shot you want to take(wrist or slap). The more shots, the better the result. Pick a area to shoot at and keep shooting at it until you hit it. Then pick a different area and do the same with that area. That really helps with shot accuracy, and power.
         A great way to improve stick handling is to get a stick handling ball, and stickhandle anywhere you want. You can purchase stick handling balls at pure hockey.com, hockey giant.com, hockey monkey.com, or hockeyshot.com
          If you have roller-skates or inline skates you can go to a local roller rink or just skate around you're neighborhood. That really improves you're skating. Just make sure you don't make bad habits, that can really backfire and mess up you're skating.
          Another really dun way is to play pick-up games at your local arenas or ponds. Also watch professional games and see how the players skate, shoot, pass, etc.
          Finally, just get ice-time. Go to free skates, open hockey, and an other chances to get better and be  a better player. Thats all I know right know for Fun ways!
