Helping with Learn to Play

Learn to Play is a fun, low-pressure, introduction for young skaters to hockey and skating. If you have a skater in Learn to Play and are comfortable on skates, please join us on the ice to help all the kids have a fun time. No hockey knowledge or experience is required and you'll have other Polar Caps coaches and older skaters on the ice. It's a great way to meet other parents and kids. The only equipment you need is a helmet and skates!

To provide a safe environment for our club, we require the below items be complete before you step on the ice.
