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.
