HOUSE LEAGUE
How a player gets that first taste of hockey is crucial. If the beginner has fun, developing some basic skills and building confidence, there is a good chance that player will go on to enjoy hockey for many years. But if a beginner has an unhappy, unrewarding experience, the chances are that he, or she, will quit at an early age and never discover the real joy of Canada's great game. To ensure that the beginner's experience is positive and rewarding we offer our Novice Program.
Novice Program (birth years 2011 to 2012)
- a comprehensive program designed to give the young participant the best possible start to an enjoyable playing experience.
- the emphasis is on skill development and fun in a safe environment.
- aims to create participants and instructors who will continue in the game.
- program includes practice per week (when possible) and one game per week.
- skills development sessions introduce the skills of skating, passing, puck control and shooting in a progressive manner.
- games allow for the application of skills and for rules of the game to be learned (i.e. offside, icing). Enables participants to become contributing members of a team effort, develop self-confidence, and experience a sense of achievement.
