Hockey Heroes: High-Five on the Ice

Fun Fact

Did you know that ice hockey is often called "the fastest game on Earth"? Players can skate at incredible speeds, and the puck can travel over 100 miles per hour! Teamwork is super important to keep up with all that action.

Coloring Tips

1. 1🎨 Helmet & Uniform Details - Use different shades of your chosen team colors to highlight the intricate logos, stripes, and padding on their helmets and uniforms. Think about shadows and light to give them dimension.
2. 2🖍️ Textured Ice - Don't just color the ice solid blue! Use very light blues, grays, and even whites to show the subtle scuffs, skate marks, and reflections on the ice surface. A light, feathery touch works best for realistic texture.
3. 3✨ Rink Backdrop - Pay attention to the background elements like the rink boards and distant stands. Use muted or softer colors for the stands to make the players pop, and consider adding subtle reflections on the plexiglass boards.
4. 4🌈 Dynamic Movement - To emphasize the energy of the high-five, think about subtle shading around their hands and arms. You can also add very light, almost transparent "motion lines" with a light blue or white pencil around their skates to suggest speed and action.
