Sno-King offers several programs for children and adults to experience and learn the basic fundamentals of skating and playing hockey. If your child wants to try playing hockey Try Hockey Free clinics are offered where equipment is provided and where participants can experience the thrill of being on the ice. A child can learn to skate in our Hockey 1 program that teaches basic skating and preliminary hockey skills. In addition, the Learn to Skate program is taught by experienced figure skating instructors and provides the opportunity to learn to skate without hockey gear. The next stage of participation is in the Hockey 2 program which prepares a player for joining a competitive team. Our Late Start program for pre-teens and teens (10-14 years old) who want to learn to play hockey. We offer Adult Learn to Play for Adults who have never played before or for those who have very little experience.
