Hockey School/IP (Georgina Minor Hockey Association)

PrintHockey School/IP

Start date for this season is Sept 23, 2017

Hockey School/IP is a learn to skate program for ages 3 to 6. Players will learn to skate with the proper hockey equipment on. Players will be divided between three groups as per below. The first couple weeks will be spent trying to assess players ability and placing them in the appropriate group. Our kick off weekend will be September 23rd and 24th and all sessions will take place at the Ice Palace on the blue pad. Hockey school/IP will run every Saturday and Sunday with the exception of a few weekends where our programming is interrupted for special events. You will receive a jersey and socks the first weekend. You will notice these jerseys are different colors. For the first few months players are grouped according to skills. Later in the year we will split the players according to their team colors and they will play mini games against each other. Lots of fun!!

We have professional paid hockey instruction for each Saturday and Sunday (NEW) hockey school/IP session. However, we also look for some parents who are interested to help out on the ice Saturday and Sundays and typically these are parents who in the future would be interested in coaching (but don't have to be). You will need to help all the kids on the ice and not just your own. This gets less as time goes on since there is a lot of falling in the first few weeks and players will spend considerable time falling and getting up!!! That's ok!!

To help out on the ice you will need to submit a valid PVSC(police vulnerable sector check) and complete Respect in Sport activity leader (available online through www.OMHA.net under the Clinics tab).

Lastly, we welcome ? as the hockey school co-ordinator. ? is there to help organize the groups and keep communication going throughout the season.

Looking forward to a fun hockey season ahead!!
