New to hockey? Want to try it out? Learn2Play is a pay-as-you-go program that gives you the opportunity to learn ice hockey with no financial risk to you. There’s no memberships, no long term commitment.
The program runs in 10 week blocks and is divided into three concurrent sections so you can learn in safety and with the support you need:
Grow the Game (GTG) – for beginners under the age of 10. Focuses on ice skating, getting comfortable with falling over and controlling a puck. We have been monitoring our 'Grow the Game' (GTG) player engagement over the year, and believe a modification is needed, to ensure players are able to feel engaged, productive, and are gaining benefit from participating in the program, leaving them eager to return the following week for more hockey FUN!
Due to this, we are making an adjustment to our 'Grow the Game' section. It will now be a 30 minute session at a reduced price to $12.00.
Skate the Game (STG) – for beginner skaters aged from 10 years to adult. Focuses on ice hockey skating skills such as forward skating, backward skating, crossovers, pivots, and stopping.
Wk 1/2 - Forward/backwards skating
Wk 3/4 - Stopping
Wk 5/6 - Crossovers
Wk 7/8 - Pivots
Wk 9 - Tight turns
Wk 10 - Evaluation
Play the Game (PTG) – for players 10 years to adult who have advanced from ‘Skate the Game’ and are ready to enhance their puck skills. You will need full protective equipment for this section. What is full protective equipment you ask? Check out the list below!
Wk 1/2 - Skating with a puck
Wk 3/4 - Stick handling
Wk 5/6 - Passing
