WHERE DO I START?

1.  LEARN-TO-SKATE:  All new skaters under 10 years old should start with a learn-to-skate program.  The Bourne Skating Club,   Gallo Ice Arena, and many other organizations in nearby ice rinks offers sessions from fall to spring for kids that haven't skated before or need more instruction to skate.  Equipment needed:  Helmet & skates 

2.  LEARN TO PLAY- SKILLS (HOCKEY):  Once your child can skate from one end of the rink to the other with relative ease, your child is ready for LTP - Skills (learn-to-play).  LTP- Skills consists of an hour of instruction and skill development each week on Saturdays.  We offer 3 sessions of LTP from Sept to April.  To register, please go to the Registration tab for the most up-to-date sessions.  Equipment needed:  Full Equipment (see picture below). 

3.  LEARN TO PLAY- SKILLS & SCRIMMAGE:  Skills and Scrimmage (originally called In-House-Mites) are for LTP players that are ready to compete against each other in a game format.  LTP teams practice on Saturdays and play half-ice games on Sundays.   We offer 3- 4 sessions from Sept-April.  To register, please go to the Registration tab for the most up-to-date sessions.  Equipment needed:  Full Equipment (see picture below).

4.  NEXT LEVELS:  After completing LTP, your child may be ready to tryout in the spring (Usually in March) for organized travel teams for the following year (6U, 8U, 10U, ect).  Please register for the following year here.   We will post our tryout schedule on our website.  

If your new skater is older that 9, please contact us for the best options.
