Children will work on improving their skating, learning one-foot pushes and glides, backward swizzles, and snowplow stops, while beginning stick handling and shooting. Upon graduation, skaters will be given a white bracelet, signifying successful completion of Hockey 1.

Hockey 2
Children will be introduced to more advanced hockey drills and stick and puck handling techniques, as well as ongoing work on skating skills, such as crossovers and inside and outside edges. Upon graduation, they’ll earn a yellow bracelet, and move up to Hockey 3.
