The Lil Huskies is our travel prep hockey program, which has been the starting point for many Huskies hockey players' careers. Join our Hockey Director, Joe Tomasek, along with other Huskies coaches, for a series of fun drills and games that aim to improve skating, puck control, passing, shooting, and — most importantly — love of the game.
This program is for players who can skate but are new to hockey. Our ‘one step at a time’ instruction is designed for players 8 years old and younger but also for players 9 years and older who are interested in starting to play the game.
The program includes one weekly skills session on Thursdays for 60 minutes each. Saturday is game day, and the Lil Huskies will play cross-ice games to take the skills they learned during the week and build their teamwork in game situations. This program is ideal for players who want to learn the game and to grow and build confidence at their own pace, as well as young hockey players who aren't yet ready to commit to a full season.
Details:
- Prior skating experience is necessary.
- Two ice touches per week.
- Thursday Practice: 4:50 p.m. (60m)
- Saturday Games: 11:30 a.m. (60m)
- Session fee: $495
