The Hockey U program provides specialized instruction focusing on skating, stick skills and hockey concepts.

The Hockey U program is a fun way to develop skills as well as a love for the game of hockey! It’s a beginner class for boys and girls ages 7-12. Future hockey stars will learn and develop their hockey skills with structured age and ability appropriate games as well as skill-specific stations emphasizing FUN!

Each session will cover multiple aspects of hockey, including forward and backward stride, cross-overs, quick starts, stopping, and transitioning from forward to backwards & backwards to forwards.

To help make the transition to the Metro Hockey League, players will experience small area games that emphasize healthy competition, team play, and fun. In addition to stick skills, shooting, and skating, each player will build confidence when playing with and without the puck.

Players must be able to skate forwards to participate in Hockey U. The XIC Skating School’s Learn-to-Skate Basic 3 covers the minimum skating requirements for players to be prepared for this summer program. The Hockey U staff will evaluate all players on the first day to determine their ability for success in the program.

Players MUST register with USA Hockey
