Extra Costs
There is no cost to this program, however, all skaters must be registered with USA Hockey and there is a fee for this. The fee varies by birth year.
Equipment
Equipment will be provided for beginner level hockey programs with check-out and return required. This provides families an opportunity try the sport before they purchase any equipment.
FAQ
What should you bring?
Your child will need a water bottle and comfortable athletic clothing. Players with long hair will want a hair tie or bandana. If you have your own hockey gear, you can bring it. Most importantly, a positive attitude!
