Introduction to Hockey

Introduction to Hockey  is our first entry level hockey program, designed to develop a foundation of hockey skating skills and basic stickhandling skills in a fun and exciting atmosphere.  Participants should be independent skaters when they register.  This class is ideal for children who will be 5 or 6 years old by December 31st, but is open to children of all ages.  The program meets once per week from early November through early March.  

Full hockey equipment is required, however limited quantities of free loaner equipment are available, courtesy of Schenectady Youth Hockey Association.  You must provide your own skates, stick, and hockey helmet.

Registration for all of the programs is done online.  Specific information about upcoming sessions (ie, dates, cost, etc) is usually available online one month before the program begins.  Click on the "registration" tab at the far right of the horizontal menu above, and follow the links for information or to register for the program you are interested in.  Payment can be made online by credit or debit card, or by check.  Payments by check must be received before the first class in order to be complete.
