Level 1: Learn to Skate

Class Descriptions

  • Little Kings Skating Skills (LK SS): A beginner-friendly class focusing on the fundamentals of skating, providing the essential baseline for all hockey skaters who wish to pursue the sport.
  • Little Kings Advanced Skating Skills (LK ADV SS): This class builds on the fundamentals while introducing more complex skating skills to enhance understanding of the skills necessary for the sport. Skaters should already have a basic knowledge of skating fundamentals.

Level 2: Little Kings Program

Program Description

Welcome to the Little Kings Program, where new hockey players are made! Designed to build confidence, teach teamwork, and ignite your child’s passion for hockey. Through a USA Hockey-approved format of on-ice instruction, we blend fun-filled activities with essential skill-building drills. The Little Kings Program aims to ensure every child feels the thrill of hockey and the joy of being part of the hockey community. Join us on this exciting journey and watch your child transform into a hockey player!
