Learn to Play Hockey

Adult learn to play hockey lessons are designed for those who may have realized their calling a little bit later in life.

Learn to play hockey offers two progressive class levels and focuses on the fundamental skills of hockey—power skating, stick handling, passing and shooting.

The program is designed to help participants develop the skills required for recreational or competitive play. 

Full hockey gear is recommended, however, a helmet, gloves, shin guards, elbow pads and a stick are required.

Participants will receive eight free public skate admissions as part of their learn to play hockey registration. Two public skate admissions can be used to attend one stick and puck session. Free admissions expire on the last day of a learn to play hockey series.
