Cross Ice Hockey
Our Cross Ice Hockey program is designed for skaters who have mastered the basics of skating and are ready to begin learning the game. Participants will develop fundamental hockey skills through age-appropriate instruction, skill-focused drills, small-area games, and guidance from experienced coaches in a fun and supportive environment.
This program is a great fit for players who:
- Can skate independently
- Are ready to learn hockey-specific skills and fundamentals
- Want to build confidence and continue developing as hockey players
