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:

Thanks!..I did that last year but kids don´t like it at all... they keep asking me if they can take it off... Thanks anyways!

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,
Alex
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).
