"Learning to play hockey is more than just learning a game. More than skating, passing and stick-handling, hockey is about responsibility, respect and teamwork. As children learn the skills needed to succeed on the ice, they also build and solidify important character traits needed to succeed off the ice."  (www.learntoplay.nhl.com/avalanche)

Developed by the National Hockey League and the National Hockey League Players Association, with help from the experts at USA Hockey and Hockey Canada, the Learn To Play program offers free equipment, age appropriate instruction and certified coaching led by NHL Alumni, for first time participants (ages 5-9 yrs) in a safe and fun environment.

Each participant receives:

  • Ice hockey helmet with a cage

  • Elbow pads
  • Hockey gloves
  • Hockey pants
  • Shin guards
  • Skates
  • Jersey

  • Sticks
  • Equipment bag
  • 6-8 weeks of On-ice instruction

In addition to the equipment provided, it is recommended that a mouth guard and athletic supporter be purchased.
