LITTLE SHARKS

The Little Sharks - "Learn to Play" program is designed for children ages 5-10 who have no prior hockey experience and are interested in picking up the sport of ice hockey. We highly recommend skating lessons for any child who has little or no prior ice-skating experience. Through fun, age-appropriate lessons, we hope to create a positive first-time hockey experience for all of our participants.
