MANITOWOC HOCKEY PROGRAMS

2009-2010 Season

Basic Skate

Basic Skate program is for ages 4 through adult beginning skaters.  Skaters learn how to skate and learn basic hockey skills.  Participants will learn how to glide forward, stride, stop and will progress to crossovers and backward skating.  Participants may move to Basic Hockey (same dates, times and fees) when they are skating comfortably forward with good balance and have learned to turn and stop reasonably well.  Participates who already know how to skate can go immediately into Basic Hockey.  See registration form for equipment requirements.

 

Basic Hockey

Basic Hockey program is for ages 5 through 12 years old (groups will be split into age groups:  5-8 and 9‑12 year olds).  Skaters will learn how to handle a stick and puck and other basic hockey skills through drills and scrimmages.  Participants must be able to skate forward comfortably with good balance and have learned to turn and stop reasonably well.  Basic Hockey will share the ice with Basic Skate.  This replaces the former County League program.  See registration form for equipment requirements.

Hockey League

Hockey League program is for ages 5 through 19 years old.  Participants have found that their skills improve at a faster rate because of the additional skating time and kids learn sportsmanship and have fun learning the game of hockey!  Teams compete in games against surrounding city teams.  This is great family time with your kids!!
