Esprit de Corps
I've mentioned this in a previous post, and here's a quick video of it. As an example of my continued efforts to build team camaraderie, I have the kids do the handshake with at least one other player before hitting the ice. It's a routine with the kids now, and most kids do the handshake with multiple teammates before hitting the ice. I find it gets the kids in a playful mood before practice. Even if a child shows up with a frown on their face, they're smiling pretty quickly once a fellow teammate does the handshake with them. I highly suggest doing something similar with the kids, they thoroughly enjoy it.
