Intro to hockey
U5 (2020)
The U5 program is aimed at providing players with an introduction to hockey and supporting the development of basic hockey skills. Players will have the opportunity to forge new friendships with teammates each week.
Families can anticipate being on the ice once a week and playing a full season from October to March. Volunteer coaches will support each team and receive four development sessions throughout the season.
To ensure players have a positive introduction to hockey, we recommend that players can skate independently.
