Bet for Skate


As we can all attest, getting in shape can be tedious and often lacks any form of fun whatsoever. "Bet for Skate" accomplishes two things. First and foremost, it helps you get in shape, and secondly, it makes a conditioning skate as fun as can possibly be.

Here's how it works:
  1. All players line up along the goal line with a puck.
  2. Each player, one at a time, will shoot their puck down the ice with the goal of putting it in the net.
  3. Every player who is not shooting has to bet whether or not the shooter will score. If you bet correctly, you do not skate. If you bet incorrectly, you skate. Note: To the end and back counts as the skate, and players generally decide amongst themselves how to bet (i.e. players in a faceoff circle are betting for the shooter to score, players outside the faceoff circle are betting against the shooter).
  4. As a shooter, if you score, you do not skate.
We encourage you to incorporate this drill into your conditioning routines. It takes your mind off the actual conditioning part of the drill and basically holds you personally responsible for how much you skate. We wish you the best of luck and hope that you enjoy the drill "Bet for Skate".
