A true introduction to gameplay. Players rotate through practices and games to learn skills, positioning, rules, and game play while improving their pace of play. It’s a fun, structured way to prepare for minor hockey.
It is a requirement that the players are able to skate and glide to participate. It is recommended that they have participated in a pre-hockey program such as CanSkate, First Shift, Take a Shot or our Hockey Pathway Program.
