Hello Barbara,
we really liked this question so we thought we'd ask it our Sportplan hockey Facebook page.
Here's the best answer we've received so far:

If the stickers are on the players' shirts maybe that would cause fewer complaints?
Just an idea but here's a drill that I've used in the past to get players talking and could easily be adapted to help your team (see below).
Hope this helps,

Pass and Follow - put a name on it!
DESCRIPTION
Simple pass and follow drill but players must name the pass before playing the ball - this can help players in a new team to learn each other's names but is also a great way to get people talking and promote communication (ideal just before a match).
