Get Your Friends On The Ice!
DO YOU HAVE A FRIEND who wants to play hockey but hasn't stepped on
the ice yet? If so, then it is time to invite them to a Try Hockey For Free event
this season on Oct. 3 and Feb. 27.
USA Hockey's Try Hockey For Free initiative is in its 17th season and is
focused on providing an opportunity for kids across the country to try the
sport of hockey without cost and learn
firsthand how much fun our game is.
Certified coaches and volunteers
provide instruction for children to play,
with host sites providing equipment
for children to borrow.
More than 297,000 children have
been introduced to Try Hockey For
Free and many more will be taking the
ice for the first time this season.
