I'll confess I didn't know this one either.
"bag skate" definition from Double-Tongued Dictionary

Looks like at least two possible origins of the term, both meaning basically the same thing. One is where the pucks stay "in the bag" and the players are basically run ragged with skating drills & such, usually as a form of punishment for disinterested play. The other is the same sort of practice but so named because it goes until the players are exhausted or "bagged".
