Learn to Play Adult/Youth

Our Learn to Play Classes are a great way for anyone who is interested in learning how to play the great sport of hockey! We offer eight week semesters in which our students will learn the basic fundamentals of the game. (skating, stopping, passing, shooting, etc.) Our Learn to Play classes are a great activity for parents and children of all ages to try something new, it is great exercise, and it is a fantastic way to enjoy a new activity in our community!
