Black vs White Stick Tape Keep Away game is a fun spin on a normal keep away game, except players need to be extra attentive and aware of players stick tape. You can also use other non-conventional items to determine player teams (positions, colors of helmets, color of gloves, brands of equipment, etc).
Setup
- Create even teams and divide up players based on the color of their stick tape. It does not matter what jerseys the players are wearing, divide them up based on stick tape color.
- On the whistle, play keep away.
- 1 point is awarded for completing a tape to tape pass with a teammate that has the same color stick tape.
Coaching Points
- Encourage players to scan the ice to be extra aware of players stick tape.
- When their team has the puck, work to get open and support your teammate.
- When you have the puck, work on protecting it with your body until you are able to make a pass.
Variations
- Can set this up in different areas of the ice and use different amounts of players.
- Can use other non-conventional items to determine player teams (positions, colors of helmets, color of gloves, brands of equipment, etc).
