Lil Thunder Hockey Program
The Lil Thunder Intro to Hockey Program is the best way for your child to learn the basic foundational skills necessary for the sport of ice hockey; skating, stickhandling, passing, & shooting in a structured 6-8 week course.
The Lil Thunder Intro to Hockey Program is available for girls & boys ages 4 & up, with or without previous skating instruction.*
*Participants must be able to skate independently without assistance. If that skill has not yet been met we encourage Learn to Skate Snowplow or Basic 1 registration for a more successful experience prior to Lil Thunder registration.
