2025-2026 Learn to Play

We are pleased to offer our Spring Learn to Play this season. This program is for beginner skaters. Players are introduced to basic hockey skating techniques and learn to play hockey. 

• USA Hockey encourages a non-competitive environment in which children can learn the basic skills without distractions that are often associated with an over emphasis on winning. Mastery of fundamental skills and the FUN of playing are essential to the development of lifelong interest in hockey. 
• The Learn To Play Program was designed for skaters to learn the basic skills required to play the game of hockey, develop an understanding of basic teamwork through participation in a variety of activities and adapted game situations, have fun while playing hockey and engaging in physical activity, create and refine basic motor skills, be introduced to the concepts of cooperation and fair play.

Why Hockey?

Learn to Play can help your child learn and grow in all aspects of life. Playing hockey helps improve children’s physical fitness while strengthening their mental health, encouraging leadership behaviors, fostering character development, and teaching important life lessons.

How do I know what size equipment my child will need?

Once registered a date/time will be announced, usually an hour before the first on-ice session, to get your child proper fitting equipment and skates!

What's Next?

You will be provided with an overview of next step/transition programs by the organization. This includes the next LTP session and projected sign-up timeframes for upcoming seasons for House/Travel hockey programs with CAHA.
