Learn To Play
Our Learn to Play (LTP) program is designed for kids who are new to ice hockey and want to learn the basics in a fun, supportive environment. Players develop skating, puck handling, and teamwork through games and age-appropriate coaching.
Full gear hire is available for players in LTP / U9 / U12 programs and can be added during the registration process. (More information)
The program is guided by the Kiwi Ice Hockey School.
Learn to Play is offered during Terms 2 and 3, with training sessions available every Tuesday for players of all skill levels.
Players in the Learn to Play, U9, and U12 programs are invited to participate in the Super Heroes League on Thursdays. This league emphasizes fun and skill development through cross-ice 3-on-3 games.
