The prerequisite for this program is to have successfully passed Learn to Skate levels Basic/Snowplow 1, 2 & 3 or Hockey 1 & 2. If your child really wants to move forward before passing these levels please email April at gm@iceworld.com.

Hockey Initiation Program, for boys and girls up to age 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. Classes are one hour in length. 

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 around December 15 with Linda. Make an appointment with her ahead of time in order to be fitted for gear. Her email is hockeymom21222@yahoo.com.
