Adult Learn to Play Hockey for Adults

There’s no doubt about it, zooming around on the ice is a fantastic way to embrace winter and get some exercise at the same time.  It is a lifelong activity that provides many positive benefits, so why not learn how to skate?

Printscape Arena offers multiple programs for people with a desire to master the skill of ice skating.  We have developed a world class program that provides all participants a positive atmosphere to achieve their goals, whether they are to simply learn to ice skate for fun or to become a hockey player/figure skater.

‍

Participants start from square one, learning the basic skills of ice skating, while being introduced to individual ice hockey specific skills (stick-handling, shooting, passing).  Set in a fun and nurturing environment, this introductory program provides all participants a comfort level to enjoy their first experience with hockey, while developing the fundamental skills to succeed in the next program progression steps.

Requirements: Full hockey equipment.

The Learn to Play Hockey Program includes a hockey equipment starter kit for first time players. The gear is provided through the rink and will be available at the rink prior to the first on-ice session.  Set Includes: helmet, shoulder pads, elbow pads, gloves, pants, shin guards, stick and jersey. A program director will contact registered players with specific details relating to the gear distribution.

This instructional league is for the hockey player who wants to develop their skating and hockey skills and play in competitive games without the same financial and time commitment as amateur hockey. This league is designed to improve player skills and then utilize these skills in game situations.

Players must be between the ages of 6-10 years old at the time of registration, and have completed the Mini Mite program, Hockey 201 program, or another rink’s equivalent program in order to participate. The league consists of one practice a week and games on Saturday afternoons.

The league will commence with player evaluation “tryouts” during the practice slot where players will be appropriately split into fair, competitive teams for the duration of the league. Throughout the season, instructor will continue re-evaluate the players and adjust the teams accordingly.

​Players will receive a reversible hockey jersey that is included in the price of the league. Our knowledgeable and trained instructors are certain that your child will have a great time while learning the greatest game on earth in a fun and relaxed environment. ​
