our Programs
overview
Our Learn to Play program is our entry-level program for aspiring hockey players. Players should have successfully completed several learn-to-skate sessions and be ready for the next step in their development before entering learn-to-play, as skating is the most important aspect of the game. This program will focus on improving all aspects of skating as well as introducing players to basic hockey skills.
PLEASE NOTE: We reserve the right to move a skater back to Learn to Skate if we feel that would be a better fit based upon the ability levels involved. Skaters new to our programs are encouraged to start with Learn to Skate and movement after that can be discussed with our staff as to which program is better suited for each individual.

Each skate is on Saturday and runs for 50 minutes, from 9:00am-9:50am at the Canton Sportsplex.Unfortunately, we are unable to offer make-up dates for missed classes. However, if we need to cancel a skate due to weather or rink scheduling conflicts that may arise, additional Saturdays and/or Sundays will be used to make up those classes as needed.
