Registration
Registration for our Spring 2025 Player Development Program will be coming soon!
Our hosts at Skatetown will be making significant repairs to Rink 1 this spring (mid March thru mid May), which means that our partnership for the Spring 2025 PDP is being adjusted. The Spring program will shift this year and run mid-May through right before tryouts in June, instead of during April. Spring Player Development will be structured around skill sessions each week: Power Skating/Speed & Agility, Shoot to Score, Hockey IQ/Small Area Games, Puck Control, and Battle & Body. We are working with the rink to finalize the schedule.
More information and registration details are coming soon!
Questions? Please contact Club Registrar, Amy McCuaig, admccuaig@icloud.com
