ICE. All participants will receive a free gift. Do I have to
pre-register for Try HOCKEY FOR FREE? No, it is not necessary!
Walk-ins are always welcome! However, pre-registration is encourgaed
as it helps US properly plan equipment and staffing needs for the day.
It also makes check in quicker for you. All participating in Try
HOCKEY FOR FREE WILL need to sign a waiver before enjoying the ice.
Adults may join their child on the ice but it is not required. We
will have volunteer staff available to help on the ice. Adults
planning to join their child on the ice must also sign a waiver and we
encourage all adults to wear a helmet. Are there age requirements for
the event? The program is designed for kids ages 4-9 but all ages are
welcome. We can not guarantee we will have equipment for kids
outside the listed ages but they are welcome to join in the fun. Do
you need to know how to skate? No! If you have never skated before
this is an awesome opportunity to get padded up and give it a try!
We split the skaters up into three groups based on their skating
experience. Beginners group - just learning to stand and move on
skates. Volunteers will be available to give tips on the basics of
skating and encourage the beginners. Intermediate group -
participants have some skating exeperience. This group will do
skating drills, HOCKEY DRILLS AND MAY SCRIMAGE IF TIME ALLOWS.
Experienced group - participants are confident on skate and may or may
not have played some HOCKEY. This group will do advanced skating
drills, advanced HOCKEY DRILLS AND MAY SCRIMAGE IF TIME ALLOWS. Please
note that participants can change groups before and during the event.
When should we arrive? We suggest arriving at least 20 minutes
before the event time listed. It will take about 20-30 minutes to
get fitted with equipment and we want you to spend as much time on the
ice as you can. Registration will open 45 minutes before all events.
What should I wear? Wear comfortable athletic clothing. You will be
moving around on the ice and you will be warmer than you think. A
long sleeve t-shirt or a light weight sweatshirt and sweat pants are
all you will need. Snow pants will only be used if we run out of
HOCKEY PANTS. What should I bring to the event? Please bring any
protective equipment that you have. Equipment is provided but some
times runs low or does not fit right. Please bring the following

be in a helmet. Adults, you may join your child on the ice and are
