LEARN TO SKATE

Welcome to Marblehead Hockey! The Learn to Skate program is designed for girls and boys aged 3+. The focus of this program will be on basic skating skills and is the building block for all future hockey players. The goal is to teach kids to skate in a fun and supportive environment, while establishing life-long friendships and a love for hockey.

When & Where: All sessions are held on the weekends from October through March. Salem State University’s Rockett Arena is used October through February, and Connery Rink in Lynn is used during March.

 

Equipment:

• You will be provided with a Marblehead practice jersey at the first session.

• Sticks are optional
• A full complement of hockey gear is NOT required for the first few sessions. However, as you progress, we suggest the following:
  • Hockey pants with shin pads and sox – OR – Snow pants with shin pads
  • Please note that hockey pants offer more cushion for falls and hockey socks offer an advantage in aiding a player when getting up from the ice.
