Registration for our 2020/2021 Learn to Skate / Learn to Play Hockey (Winter Session) is now open! 

When:
This program begins on January 9^th and runs for 10 weeks on Saturday mornings at the Graf Rink in Newburyport, MA.  The time is mostly at 11:00 - 11:50 am between 1/9 - 2/20 however it shifts to 10:00 – 10:50 am between 2/27 - 3/13. 

What is it:
This is a program for kids ages 4-10 with or without skating experience. We run two programs on the ice each week as described below. 

1. Learn to Skate Program is for kids who are just learning how to skate. This is a new experience for young kids and our goal is to simply get them comfortable on the ice and learn the fundamentals of skating.  We use old milk crates to push around the ice for the beginners while they get their balance, and the goal is to have them skate on their own by the end of the session.   

2. Learn to Play Hockey Program is for kids who have completed the Learn to Skate program and are ready to try the game of hockey. Kids should be able to skate on their own, get up off the ice without assistance and have a desire to participate. The coaches will teach skating and hockey skills in a cross-ice environment. This program is perfect to prepare kids for the Mite Instructional Hockey League next fall which is a 3v3 competitive but fun league.

Both programs are run by our AYHL coaching staff who do a terrific job encouraging the kids to have fun and learn while being in a supervised environment. All coaches are USA Hockey certified and CORI checked and often have a support staff of high school hockey players and other volunteers to help them on the ice.
