Learn to Play Hockey - Foundations

The first real step into hockey.

Foundations is for skaters who can move on their own and are ready to start becoming hockey players. This is where we build the skating base that everything else sits on - edges, balance, speed, and stopping - along with an introduction to sticks and pucks through fun drills and games. Players are grouped by age and skill level, so everyone is challenged and no one is left behind. Kids leave this program skating with real confidence - and having a blast doing it.

Players graduate to Level 2 when they can:

✅ Hold a one foot inside edge between two cones - with enough speed to carry it

✅ Hold a one foot inside edge on the circle

✅ Skate the full length of the ice without falling ✅ Stop one way

Best for: New hockey players and skaters graduating from Learn to Skate.

Program Highlights:

• For players - U4, U5, U6, U7, U8
