The Rookies program, presented by GEICO, is the Dallas Stars’ grassroots youth hockey initiative that consists of five completely free 30-minute instructional sessions that provide children and adults the opportunity to learn the basics of hockey in a safe and no-risk environment.

Developed to eliminate barriers of entry to the sport, each event is held at StarCenter locations around the DFW Metroplex where each participant is outfitted with all necessary equipment and a souvenir jersey and stick for them to keep.
