CROSS ICE (X-ICE)

After a player has completed the Learn to Play or equivalent program, they are ready to progress to X-Ice. Skaters don’t have to be 100% fall-free in order to participate. The X-Ice program is done in conjunction with The Valley Hockey League and Marblehead Youth Hockey Association coaches.

2025– 2026 Information Coming Soon

Details: The season runs from September through March and consists of two practices and one game per week. Saturday and Sunday sessions will be at Beverly at Raymond J. Bourque Arena (Endicott College). There will be several other area youth hockey programs on the ice at the same time as Marblehead. On Saturday, the ice is split into 6 stations, each with a different small area drill and each team will rotate through the stations. On Sunday the ice is divided into 3 X-Ice games with a coach from each team on the ice.

The smaller playing surface allows all players at every skill level to be involved in the action, increasing player's time with the puck and therefore increasing skill development for all players. All of this is in a collaborative, supportive and fun environment.
