INTRO TO HOCKEY
The Intro to Hockey program is designed specifically for kids ages 4-8 who are looking for a basic introduction to hockey. The on-ice sessions are designed to teach newcomers some game basics in a fun and safe environment. DAYHA coaches and student-athletes run all on-ice sessions. On-ice and off-ice support is offered to teach kids how to get their equipment on, hold a stick and most importantly, skate. The program will provide a Q&A session designed to help parents and players understand the equipment, expectations of the program, and additional opportunities to skate for the 2025-2026 season.
