Learn To Play Hockey Program
The Learn-to-play-hockey program at the Lancater ice rink is structured to prepare and encourage children, from age 3 on up, to have the appropriate skill base for a positive and successful start in the sport of ice hockey. Our Learn-to-play-hockey program is broken down into 2 levels to address the needs of the beginning and intermediate skater who wishes to play hockey or desires to improve skating and stick-handling skills. This program is fun and encouraging atmosphere for skaters to learn the basics of ice hockey.
Blade Benders - These classes are designed for beginning skaters wishing to play hockey. Skaters will learn various skills to become comfortable on the ice while being introduced to the sport of ice hockey.
Puck Pushers - These classes are designed for the intermediate skater, ready to begin working with a stick. Skaters will begin to learn and improve in basic stick handling technique while continuing to improve in skating skill.
