Future Caps is a Learn to Play initiative developed in collaboration with the National Hockey League (NHL) and National Hockey League Player's Association (NHLPA). The NHL and NHLPA have identified the need for a unified growth strategy as a priority for the sport of hockey. The Future Caps Learn to Play program aims to be the gold standard for youth hockey programs with the goal of inspiring more families to join the hockey community. Learn to Play changes the way youth hockey is offered by providing first-time participants free head-to-toe equipment, eight (8) classes of age appropriate on-ice instruction, and certified coaching in a fun and safe atmosphere. We look forward to seeing you on the ice!

Use the holiday break to hone your skating and skills with some high intensity power skating and skill work.  Each session will focus on power skating with inclusion of puck-handling and shooting skills to round out your game and keep you sharp over the break.

Drop in to one or all of the available sessions!

• Thursday, December 26th, 8am
• Friday, December 27th, 8am
• Sunday, December 29th, 8am

*Max limit of 30 skaters per session.

**A second hour at 9:10am may be added if there is enough demand and we would then divide the group up by age.
