Experience

New skaters work through basic balance, stand-up from falls, marching, and basic forward strokes before progressing into stops, turns, and hockey-specific stride. The instructional youth-hockey league is geared at first-time team skaters who want a low-pressure entry into game play, while the competitive league serves older players ready for full season play.
