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. Developing a love for the game now will last a lifetime.

This program is geared towards ages 4-8.

The Learn to Play Hockey Rookie Program includes a hockey equipment starter kit for the first fifty new Rookie 1 participants registered. The gear is provided through the rink and will be available at the rink prior to the first on-ice session. Guardians must include their child’s height, weight and birthday upon registration as this information will be used to issue the equipment. Available sizes are Youth Small (ages 3-5 or 6), Youth Large (ages 5 or 6 to 8), and Junior Small (ages 7-10). 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.

The ETR Skating Academy is a prerequisite. Skaters should have completed pre-hockey 1 and 2 (Snowplow 1 and 2/Basic 1 and 2). A jersey is included.
