Growing up playing minor hockey we were always threatened with and had to perform “bag skates” for either poor play or lack of discipline. In retrospect it’s incredible that was the accepted form of motivation for youth athletes - performing well to avoid “bag skates”
Yes very true : incredible really how abusive some training practices were.
In Junior hockey, I clearly remember not being allowed to drink water during practice as some form “character building “ exercise and punishment for poor play.
