FUNdamentals

About

If your daughter wants to play hockey, the NGHA FUNdamentals program is the place for her!

Our FUNdamentals (U7) program is a structured learn-to-play hockey program for girls aged 4 to 6. Our program is designed to help introduce young players to the fundamental skills of hockey while having FUN. Through skating warm-ups, skill-specific stations and games, girls will have the opportunity to develop these skills in a safe and nurturing environment. As well, they will have the opportunity to develop an understanding of teamwork, fair play and cooperation by interacting and playing with teammates.

Players will be sorted into two groups based on age and on hockey/skating experience.

Schedule

Our FUNdamentals program runs from the last weekend of September to the first weekend of March. We have weekly practices scheduled on Saturday afternoon. Our practices focus primarily on basic skill development.

Beginning in December, a second weekly ice time is added on Sundays. Players will get the opportunity to participate in an adapted “mini” hockey game.

There is no ice scheduled over the Christmas holidays.

Fees

The registration fee is $325 for the season. Players will also be required to purchase their own equipment. We do, however, provide a pair of hockey socks and a Tim Hortons jersey. Jerseys and socks are handed out at a parents meeting in mid-September. Those that cannot attend the meeting will get their socks and jersey at the first practice.

For information on the mandatory required equipment, please read our NGHA Equipment Policy
