LEARN TO PLAY HOCKEY PROGRAMS


​Center Ice’s hockey programs are designed around the guidelines of USA Hockey’s ADM model, which creates a fun, relaxed learning environment for participants to learn the fundamental skills of ice hockey.  The non-competitive and positive atmosphere not only makes a child’s first experience with hockey positive, but also creates an environment in which they can excel.  

Participants will not only learn to skate, the skills and game of ice hockey; they will also develop self-esteem and self-confidence.  The program operates under the premise that if a player's introduction to the sport is positive, they will develop a lifetime love of the game.
