Introduction to Hockey - Ages 3-12
Learn to Play is run by our highly experienced LTP staff and introduces girls to the sport of ice hockey in a fun, non-competitive program. No skating instruction is necessary to participate in Learn to Play. Our certified, on-ice coaches help kids learn the basics of hockey, including skating, stick handling, passing, and shooting skills. LTP is open to kids of all ages, but participants typically range in age from 3 to 12 years old. As players progress through the Learn to Play program, they are moved to teams appropriate to their skill level. Full gear is required for Learn to Play participants.
