Beginning Saturday, October 1st at 12:10 p.m. our new program is set to begin. Information on the (3) classes are listed below.

Hockey Learn to Skate

Our instructors will go over the very beginning stages of skating including balance, getting up from falling.  As the player progresses we will work on strides and utilizing their skate edges.  The goal is to get the player comfortable enough to navigate on their own around the ice surface.  You do not need full equipment for this class. Bring a helmet (hockey or biker). We provide skates if you do not have them.

Hockey Learn to Play

Our instructors will focus on implementing general hockey skills. We will focus on the basics of passing, stick handling, shooting, forward and backward skating and taking the next step in skating with the puck (puck control).  Full equipment is required!

Advanced Hockey Learn to Play

This program focuses on the player that has already received one semester of Learn to Play and looking for more… Skating in regards to cross-overs, transitioning, and mobility.  Puck control with more tempo and shooting. This class will get you ready for our In-House Recreational League and 8U/10U Developmental Travel.
