About the Program

The Initiation Program (IP) is for kids who are 4, 5 or 6 years old as of December 31st. In some cases we place 7 year olds, who are new to the game, in IP as well. The program is intended to teach kids the basic fundamentals of the game, learn some of the basic rules of the sport, and have lots of fun. The programs are focused largely on skating drills and games. In later sessions the kids will practice puck handling and shooting. Games against other teams are organized individually by the coaches/assistants - and are recommended for returning 5/6 year olds and first year 6 year olds. However, all groups usually play a 5-10 minute game at the end of each practice.

Equipment:

Full equipment is required - including a mouth guard and neck guard.
Jerseys will be provided. You need your own socks.

Regular Schedule:

Historically, kids in the IP program are on the ice Saturday mornings around 9am. We also try to offer a second hour on Sunday that is subject to ice availability.
