Matching game shifts

Special hockey teams have a very wide variety of skills. Some player may even have played in local non-adaptive teams, particularly at a younger age. Some players are very big, others very small. Ages range from 4-5 to 50s.

Coaches work to match shifts between teams. Colored tape on helmets can help remind players which shift they're on and facilitate shift changes. A league standard on the meaning of the tape (ex. rank 1, 2, 3 can help with shift matching).

Bench support

During games 2-3 bench volunteers may be needed.

Game flyer

Some teams print out flyers with pictures, numbers, names, and other info to hand out at games.
