It also gives you more options for the number of kids playing. With 2 coaches you can have a 4-on-4 session going at each end of the ice, and 16 kids skating at a time instead of 10.

What will be used as boards, those silly foam dividers? With such a small area, theres going to be a bunch of standing around. Normal surface teachers kids how to skate, pivot and stop. I've watched those little kids play during the intermission of Flames games and they go end to end all the time, no issues..
