» November is an ideal time
to bring families into your rink
that may not have previously
considered youth hockey and are
completing their fall sports.
» February is a great opportunity
to attract new families who
are thinking hockey because
it's winter. This will give you
an advantage with your spring
programs and in identifying new
families for next fall. This event
will take place during Hockey
Week Across America.
