Beginner Hockey Programs
Initiation
formerly known as Mini or Mite
3,4 and 5 year olds participate in our Initiation Program. Fundamental hockey skills are stressed in this once a week program. Learning to skate, the basics of handling a stick and puck, and fun are all core to this beginners program. Children are divided into skill level groups so they can learn and progress with their peers who are at similar stages of ability. Ice time is maximized by focusing on individual player development.
Pre-Novice
formerly known as Tyke
6 year olds participate in our Pre-Novice program. This twice a week program builds on the fundamentals established in the Initiation program. Skating, stick and puck control, passing and shooting are all developed in this high energy program that retains fun at its core. Pre-novice introduces team play concepts, with more hockey related thinking and situations. There will be some scrimmages against other centres as the season progresses.
