In bubble hockey, players are confined to one part of the ice, as determined by rods and gliders. Real hockey used to resemble that same rigid positioning. But modern hockey at top levels is more fluid, creative and filled with interchangeable parts. At 10U, players should be learning to play multiple positions instead of being pigeonholed as forwards or defense.

Q: I run a local rink and one of my 10U coaches asked me what they should be doing for warmups, both off- and on-ice. What should I tell him?
A: This is a great question and we get it often. First we have to ask ourselves, "What is the purpose of warmups in both situations?" And remember, a 10-year-old should warm up much differently than a 16-year-old.
