Learn-to-Play

MassConn United’s own in-house introductory league for beginner hockey players is dedicated to being the premier development program for all aspiring hockey players in the Northern Connecticut/Western Massachusetts region, from beginning skaters to the elite player.
 

OVERVIEW

Our Learn to Play program is our entry-level program for aspiring hockey players. Players should have successfully completed several learn-to-skate sessions and be ready for the next step in their development before entering learn-to-play, as skating is the most important aspect of the game.
This program will focus on improving all aspects of skating as well as introducing players to basic hockey skills. 

Perfect for the brand-new hockey player who desires to learn the sport in a fun, active, and teaching environment.  Instruction is focused on the fundamentals of hockey: skating, passing, shooting and stickhandling. Practices will focus on constant movement and increased puck touches. Players will learn the proper way to hold their stick, correct hockey position, hockey stops, and a basic introduction to backward skating. Instruction and drills/games are designed to be 100% FUN. 

 The Learn to Play Hockey Rookie program includes free equipment for first time  Rookie 1  participants. The gear is provided through the rink and will be available at the rink prior to the first on-ice session. Available sizes are Youth Small (ages 3-5 or 6), Youth Large (ages 5 or 6 to 8). Set Includes: helmet, shoulder pads, elbow pads, gloves, pants, shin guards, hockey stick, and jersey. A program director will contact registered players with specific details relating to the gear distribution.
