Hockey Initiation Program, for boys and girls ages 4 - 15, is designed to teach the fundamentals of proper skating techniques for hockey. Each program is 6 weeks long, can be repeated, and when successfully completed, will prepare the child for Recreational League play. Hockey Initiation Program will teach introductory shooting, passing, and stick handling in addition to maneuverability, speed and agility. Prerequisite skill is independent forward skating. Classes are one hour in length. Completion of the first 3 levels of Learn to Skate or the Hockey Skating Lesson Program prior to taking Hockey Initiation Program is strongly recommended.  

Hockey Initiation Program 2 is open to all players over 8 years old who have completed Hockey Initiation Program (HIP) or another clinic/instruction program. The goal of the league is to have scrimmage games for young skaters who are not ready for organized hockey, but are ready for the next step after HIP. This class is for players who have completed HIP at least twice and is only offered in the spring.

Ice World provides gear (helmets, shin pads, elbow pads, gloves, stick and pants) for kids 5-15 years old, if it is your first series of HIP. If you need gear we will have fittings on April 11 and 13 with Linda. Make an appointment with her ahead of time in order to be fitted for gear. Her email is hockeymom21222@yahoo.com.

If you were enrolled in our series when Covid shut us down in March we have your credit available to use. If you have a credit, you should sign up, click pay offline and send gm@iceworld.com an email. If you click to pay offline and you do not have a credit you will not be allowed to skate.
