Experience
The size of the facility means a child can start at age 5 in the ATOMs program and progress all the way through the Aviator Hockey Club travel program without leaving the building. Younger skaters work fundamentals - balance, stride, falling safely - before advancing into stick-handling and small-area games. The Floyd Bennett Field setting draws families from Brooklyn, Queens, and Staten Island.
