INTRO TO HOCKEY

This program will combine an introduction to skating and hockey geared to children ages 4 and up.  Children will learn to skate while holding a stick in their hands. Passing, puck handling and basic shooting will be covered as well. Emphasis will be placed on personal skill development within a fun-filled environment. Full hockey equipment is required.  For those that prefer not to purchase pads, a limited amount of equipment is available for use during the season.  Intro to Hockey is offered at 2 convenient locations as outlined below.

WHO IS IT FOR?

Children ages 4 and up with little or no skating or hockey experience.

WHAT MAKES INTRO TO HOCKEY DIFFERENT THAN LEARN TO SKATE?

INTRO TO HOCKEY will teach skating while learning basic hockey skills.  Passing, puck handling and basic shooting are covered while learning how to skate.  In addition, INTRO TO HOCKEY is played in full hockey equipment.  LEARN TO SKATE will team the basics of skating without the introduction of any hockey skills.  For LEARN TO SKATE, children must wear hockey helmets but no other equipment is required, although winter gloves are highly recommended!
