WHAT TO KNOW

We believe the skills kids learn to become great players, are the same skills they need to become great people.



The benefits of playing hockey are clear. Physical fitness, development of physical literacy and confidence, and the encouragement of healthy lifestyle choices each have long-lasting effects on growing children.

Then there are the life lessons. Hockey teaches core values like the importance of teamwork and showing respect for others. It also teaches work ethic, discipline, and the importance of having a positive attitude—even in the face of adversity. Being on a team gives them a sense of belonging, a connection to their teammates, the town they play in,

Above all, kids play hockey because they love it and because Hockey is Fun!
