Hockey Rink From Above Coloring Page

This page shows an ice hockey rink from above. The rink has rounded corners and a double line for the boards, and six small players are spread across the ice, each holding a stick.

The players are small, so this page suits children who like fine detail and have fairly steady control of a pencil or fine pen.

Ideas for coloring

• Give each team its own jersey colour so you can follow the players across the ice.
• Leave the ice white or add a very pale blue wash, then colour the boards in a darker shade.
• Use a pencil to draw in centre line and face-off circles if you want to practise a rink layout.
• Add a crowd outside the boards with dots of colour.

How a rink is laid out

A standard hockey rink has rounded corners so the puck does not get stuck. Boards run around the edge, and the ice is marked with a centre line, two blue lines and face-off circles. Each team has a goal at one end. Players skate on blades, and games are played in three periods.
