This is for students who have passed 1-2 Learn to Skate USA levels only and are making the transition to hockey. In Hockey, students will be on the ice 2-3 times each week (this includes practices and in house scrimmages). Hockey students will learn the fundamentals of skating, stick handling, and shooting in a fun, engaging learning environment. Equipment can be rented and USA hockey membership is required (an additional $55 fee).
Hockey - Garden Ice Arena Syllabus
Please note: it is important to make as informed a decision as possible when choosing your student's Community Resource classes. Most locations will allow a student to drop a class after one meeting, at no charge if it wasn't a good fit for the student, but not all. Some classes plan ahead based on the number that have signed up and have purchased materials, hired teachers, etc. and there might be a fee for class time or materials given to the student if the student drops after one or two meetings. The school cannot pay for classes that students do not complete, so choose wisely; if you do not take the class off of your student's schedule by the deadline, you may be asked to pay for the class time incurred prior to dropping the class.
