Looking for a fun, low-pressure way to get on the ice with your child and help them build confidence with a stick and puck? Our Parent/Beginner half ice sessions are designed for new players and their parent/guardian to develop skills, practice casually, and enjoy time on the ice together. All in a safe, supportive environment.

🧊 ELIGIBILITY

• Beginner children aged 9 and under

  • Jr participants must not be rostered on any IHV or JSL team, including reserves. Including interstate & overseas leagues.

  • Junior Development participants may join independently

  • Beginners or those not enrolled in Junior Dev must have a parent or guardian on the ice with them

🏒 What to Expect:

• Half ice setup tailored for parent and beginner use

• A relaxed, flexible environment to shoot, pass, and skate

• Light supervision by an iceHQ team member to ensure safety and encourage good sportsmanship

• A community-first session. It's not about showing off, it's about learning and having fun!

👨‍👩‍👧 Parental Involvement:

• All parents/guardians must remain within supervision distance of their child at all times

• Parents/Guardians participating are expected to already have some ice hockey experience.

  • Must not shoot hard, skate vigorously, or use this time as their own practice. This session is strictly to introduce kids to the ice in a safe setting.

🧤 Gear Hire:

• Free gear hire available for children only

• Children must wear a full set of hockey gear, whether hired or their own

• Adults must bring their own gear, at a minimum: helmet, skates, stick, and gloves (you may wear full gear if you prefer)
