More Info LEARN TO PLAY USA Hockey partners with the NHL, NHLPA, and local clubs nationwide on its Learn to Play program, which introduces new kids to the game with affordable, first-time access to equipment and ice time. Combined with continued investment in girls' and women's hockey and the American Development Model, these efforts are a major factor in introducing children to the sport of ice hockey each year. More Info TRY HOCKEY FOR FREE USA Hockey's Try Hockey For Free, presented by Discover, is an initiative focused on providing an opportunity for kids, ages four to nine, across the country to try the sport of hockey without cost. Certified volunteers and coaches will provide instruction and fun games for kids to play on the ice, and host sites will provide equipment for children to borrow. In addition to two annual USA Hockey Try Hockey For Free Days each season, associations and programs around the country also host Try Hockey For Free Days throughout the year, including Try Hockey For Free events focused on girls hockey, disabled hockey, and more.
