LEARN TO PLAY PROGRAMS
Due to COVID-19 programming is tentative and may be altered.
KMHA Learn to Play Programs are open to all ages 18 and below, however age suggestions are listed in each program description. Please note if older children wish to participate KMHA will make every effort to make them feel comfortable and welcome as they proceed through the programs. Older participants may proceed faster through the programs than younger children. KMHA does have a few older participants each season and would welcome your child to Learn to Play this great Canadian pastime, hockey!
Any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact the KMHA office.
Learn to Hockey Skate (co-ed)
Is a fundamental program designed for the new/beginner skater. This program is designed to teach a non-skater and develop the basics of balance, stride and stopping on Hockey skates. This program is designed for players in full Hockey gear to allow them to feel like Hockey players while being protected on the ice from falls that would normally hurt their knees or behinds.

Jr. Rangers Rookies (co-ed)
This program was developed to help young players (ages 4 to 8) by introducing them to basic skating and puck handling drills. The player must be able to skate efficiently on their own with a basic skating stride (without a parent or skating aid) to participate in this program. A player that simply stands on the ice with minimal movement or shuffling of their feet should be in the Learn-to-Hockey-Skate program, and not this program. Skating aids are not permitted in this program.
