BYH Learn To Play

Our Learn-to-Play program builds the foundation for future Warriors by focusing on core individual skills and, most importantly, fostering a lifelong love for the game.

• Skill-First Development: We focus on the fundamentals: skating, puck control, shooting, and passing.
• Engaging Format: Following the USA Hockey ADM station-based format, we use fast-moving, small-area games to keep development fun and engaging.
• Fun-Centric Atmosphere: Our primary goal is to ensure every player has a great time while learning the greatest sport on earth!

• Skating Ability: Only basic skating skills are required.
• Independence: For safety and flow, players should be able to move between stations on the ice without adult assistance.

Designed for players aged 4-10 years who are new to hockey or have previously done a learn-to-play program
