Hockey drills should be fun as well as instructive. They should be designed to learn new skills and cement old ones. Like anything else hockey players learn from repetition and benefit from muscle memory. When conducting a practice be sure to incorporate drills to cover all the basic aspects of the game such as skating, passing, shooting and stick handling. Here are some ideas for your practices and remember to keep your hockey drills fun.
Before conducting any hockey drills, or drills in any other sport for that matter it is important to get your players warmed up. Start by having the players do a series of stretches. Don't send them off by themselves to do this but rather line them up as a team and do the stretches with them. A good five minutes of stretching should be enough. Now, have them skate from low to medium speed around the rink. Encourage them to hoot and holler and bang their sticks on the ice as they skate to prepare them for the work ahead. We are now ready to start our hockey drills.
Skating: Hockey is the fastest team sport there is bagel

Getting from the corner to the front of the net, from the centre line to the blue line and from the back of the net to the corner. Divide the team into four groups, each lined up in one corner of the rink. On your whistle one player from each group will break for the net from a standing stop. Players from the groups will alternate their turns. Encourage explosive starts and powerful leg drives. Include the goaltenders in this drill as this is also an important aspect to their game. Keep things moving and you can vary the drill with bursts from the corner to the blue line and back again. Add "stop on a dime" stops to this variation. Do not allow cruising or loafing. This is an all out hockey drill.
Passing: At one end of the rink divide your team into units. Your forward lines and your defensive pairings each forming a separate unit. The goaltenders should each occupy one of the nets. On your whistle one unit will make a break from the defensive end to the offensive end. Each unit must make at least 4 passes on their way up ice and each player must have the puck at least once. End the rush with a shot on net. When all units have reached the opposite end of the ice have them repeat the exercise going the other way, only this time they will skate the length of the ice backwards culminating with a backhand shot. Again keep things moving and have the players talking to each other during the exercise. Players should be performing at top speed with no slackards.
Shooting: Separate the team into four groups, two groups at either end of the ice with one group on each side of the blue line and the goalies in net. Have an assistant or a player at the side of the net with a bucket of pucks. Starting with the group from one side of the ice and alternating from group to group, player to player, the assistant makes the pass to the breaking player who will then take a wrist shot. As you move around the ice observe the shooting techniques of each player and coach them on improvements. Spend about half the time of this drill on wrist shots and then switch to slap shots. Players receive the pass at the blue line and take the shot. To keep the players involved have them move to the front of the net after taking the shot for a tip in opportunity on the next shot. End the drill by having the players skate from the blue line in, circle the net and come out the other side to take a backhand shot.
Stick Handling: Place a row of pylons on each side of the rink from blue line to blue line about 12 feet out from the boards and 10 feet apart. Give each player a puck and have them skate through the pylons while carrying the puck. Have all players participating at the same time. You can start half the team from one side of the ice and the other half from the other side. Players on the one side of the ice stick handle backward through the pylons and as they cross the blue line turn and take the shot on goal, circle to the opposite side and stick handle forward through the pylons with a shot at the other end. Make sure the players keep their heads up during this drill and stick handle by feel.
End your practice session with a ten minute scrimmage, followed by a cool down skate around the rink. Vary your practices with other hockey drills to keep your players engaged and to work on different aspects of the game. Practice makes perfect and the emphasis on your hockey drills should be fun.
