Junior Development Training

Learn to play ice hockey! The focus of this class is to teach young players about the game and develop the fundamental skills of ice hockey. This is a skill-based training session where players are separated into smaller groups to complete various drills with the coaches.

This program may also include cross-ice games in a beginner-friendly environment. Players who have developed the fundamental skills of the game will be able to put those skills into practice, in a modified game environment that offers challenge and support.

* Kids can begin ice hockey in our programs from 5 years old, if they can skate independently and follow coach instruction.
*Ice skating experience is expected prior to joining this class.
