TOP Hockey Club
Learn-to-Play Program
The TOP Hockey Learn-to-Play program is one of the only programs that combines professional coaching and high-quality development with an efficient, ski-friendly hockey schedule. Our program provides a perfect introduction for beginner players to improve their skills in a fun, engaging environment, with the goal of moving to the U7 Development program for the following season.
Our coaches focus on athletic literacy (agility, balance, coordination), hockey fundamentals (striding, turning, stopping, passing, shooting), and gameplay (spacing, teamwork, decision-making). The pace is upbeat and the format is designed to build confidence while keeping kids moving from start to finish. It's the perfect starting place for brand-new players and a great tune-up for active kids who want to try something new.
