01 Why is Learn to Skate required prior to participation in Learn to Play?
Similar to learning how to crawl before you can walk, or walk before you can run, it is strongly encouraged that all participants have a fair amount of skating experience under their belt before putting on hockey equipment.
A child’s first day of Learn to Play can be a heavy sensory overload so doing all you can to limit any unease for both the child and the parent is highly suggested. Learn to Skate can help with:
Speed and Agility: The better their skating technique, the faster and more agile they will be. Hockey is a fast-paced game, and strong skating helps you keep up.
Safety: Proper skating technique reduces the risk of falling and injuries. Learning how to stop efficiently prevents crashes into the boards—or worse, other players!
Endurance: Efficient skating helps conserve energy. If you’re struggling to stay upright, you’ll burn out quickly before you even get into the game.
Confidence: Mastering the basics makes hockey way more enjoyable. When you’re comfortable moving around, you can focus on positioning, passing, and shooting instead of just staying on your feet.
02 How does the Learn to Play waitlist work?
If a LTP session is full, you can add your child to the waitlist
Participants on the waitlist will be the first to know when a new session opens up before it opens to the rest of the public.
03 What if my child is not within the Learn to Play age limit?
Players below the age limit will need to wait until they reach the required age.
Players above the limit may join, but must provide their own gear and will receive a code for $100 off.
