This registration session will allow you to complete your registration for Hockey Learn to Skate, Intro to Hockey and Hockey School for the Winter 2025 Session.

Program Descriptions

Our Learn to Play Program is made up of a three (3) part series of progressionary classes.  If your child has never skated before or has very little skating experience, we recommend starting them in Hockey Learn to Skate.

At the end of each session, coaches will provide direction on which class to sign up for next.
