Intro to Hockey Program

Our Intro to Hockey Program is a great way for older less experienced skaters to learn to play hockey in a safe and fun environment. Intro to Hockey is a coed program for boys and girls ages 9+ who have successfully completed at least one Learn to Skate or Learn to Play Program and are new to the game of hockey. Partnering with Solid State Hockey, our experienced hockey coaches will teach hockey fundamentals through fun drills, games, and intrasquad scrimmages to further strengthen skating skills and create confident hockey players for U10 level teams and above. 

This program meets for 50 minutes twice per weekend for skills sessions and scrimmages. Our Intro to Hockey Program program offers open enrollment from September thru March with a prorated tuition based on your players date of registration. Full hockey gear is required to attend this program.

This program is not intended for current players in the Junior Crusaders Travel Programs (Coed & Girls).
