High School Ages and Up

This program teaches the basics of hockey to women who are beginners or recreational skaters. A beginners and intermediate level of instuction are available.

Each week players take part in a one hour and twenty minute on ice session. Stations are used to divide the players according to skill level. This enables the instructors to prepare lesson plans that will challenge the player regardless of their ability level. Each week's class will consist of individual skill instruction, limited team concept play and limited scrimmaging. We hope to schedule one or two games per session with outside teams. Please note there is an extra fee for these games.

A maximum of 30 skaters are accepted for this program and registration.
