HOMESCHOOL LEARN TO HOCKEY SKATE

Youth & Adults

Join us for our new class, Homeschool Learn to Hockey Skate. Starting Friday, September 8 at 10:30am, skaters will learn the basic hockey stance, stride, knee bend, use of edges, and other necessary fundamentals to be successful in hockey practices and game situations. The class will be a 30-minute lesson followed by a 30-minutes of practice. Each skater will receive six free public skating passes. You will also learn how to be more proficient and agile on the ice in four badge levels. All elements will be taught without a puck.

Necessary equipment*:
• Hockey skates • Helmet

Once a skater advances through Hockey 4, they will be ready to Learn to Play Hockey and join a team!

*Rentals are available to start, but we do recommend once skaters know that they want to continue with lessons, they purchase proper hockey skates. Proper fit is very important, so schedule a time for a fitting in our pro shop to ensure you are buying the recommended equipment.
