T
here are several avenues to register your child to play hockey.
The most common way is via USAHockey.com, but other avenues,
including USA Hockey's national Try Hockey For Free Day initiatives,
local Try Hockey For Free events, Learn to Play programs, and reaching
out directly to an association are all fantastic options and provide the
opportunity for families to get involved in a way that works for them!

Hockey, go to usahockey.com and click

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.

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.
