New to Hockey

Getting Started:

Hockey is a fun, fast-paced sport for all ages! Beginners can join learn-to-skate or learn-to-play programs to build confidence on the ice.

What to Expect:

Practices focus on skating, stickhandling, and teamwork. Younger players start with non-competitive, fun-focused games.

Costs & Assistance:

Hockey programs include fees for ice time and gear. Please see the Rink Rookie program below.

Parent Tips:

  • Arrive early (30 min) for practice to get geared up.
  • Cheer positively and encourage players to have fun!
