Initiation Program (IP)
The Initiation Program (commonly called the "IP" program) is for beginning hockey players age 5-8 years old. This instructional program focuses primarily on basic hockey skills (skating, stick handling, passing, and shooting) and includes one 50-minute practice per week (depending on ice availability) beginning in September and continuing to March.
Depending on enrollment and available opponents, a few games against other initiation programs are a possibility towards the season's end.
