Trick or treat teambuilding

When I managed little kids' teams, I always went to great lengths to make the experience go beyond what happened on the ice. It was an attempt to create positive peer experiences that I hope resulted in positive interactions, great memories and maybe some lasting friendships.
One of the standards during the tyke and novice years was Halloween candy. Just like their dads sharing a cold one or a Timmies, the bonding of sharing candy for kids cannot be measured.
Just don't do what I did and give it to them before the game.
