The summative assignment for PAL involves a major project to design a practice with a focus on offensive tactics and the Powerplay, or on defensive tactics and the Penalty Kill.  Students need to use Hockey Canada and OMHA teaching resources to complete a series of questions relating to Skill Development Guidelines for practices that are appropriate for the age level of players involved.  The Rubric for the PAL Summative should be consulted to ensure successful completion of the project.  Practice Tips and Planning from the OMHA Development Manual and the Coaches Drill Book are useful resources in designing the practice.  Excerpts from the National Coaching Certification Program Development 2 program for Hockey are to be used to answer questions relating to Defensive Tactics or Offensive Tactics.  These concepts should be included in the drill design similar to the offensive and defensive samples provided and are to be presented using the Drill Design Template.  Use International Symbols for your drill diagrams.
