Full protective equipment is required to include: hockey helmet with cage, hockey stick, hockey gloves, hockey pants, shoulder pads, elbow pads and shin guards.

 

 

Hockey is a wonderful sport and can be enjoyed by all ages for many, many years. We would like to help you develop good habits right from the start so that you and your child can enjoy it as long as we have.

Clearwater Ice Arena provides rental skates for you until you are ready for your own pair of skates.

Please let the coaches do their job while your child is in lesson. We have had lots of experience with uncertain first timers. Relax, watch and enjoy their excitement, successes and their challenges.

You will be given an activity card at the front desk on your first day of class. This card can be used to check in for class each week and your free public sessions. We encourage at least one extra day of practice other than the lesson day. On lesson day your child has one 45 minute lesson, and 15 minutes practice/play.

 

You will also be involved with USA Hockey as your child progresses into team play.

Tips on tightening hockey laces

To enjoy your new sport you need properly fitted equipment, and for skaters, the most important piece of equipment is the boot. Properly fitted skates are important for comfort as well as balance and performance.

The heel of your foot should be locked back into the heel area as far as possible and when laced properly the toes should just brush the front of the skate. Tie the ankle area tightly and leave room for two fingers between your child’s leg and the tongue at the top. If your child’s foot leans to the inside, please check the laces and size immediately.

Tips on purchasing a hockey stick

When purchasing a hockey stick, please be sure the stick measures to the nose if your child is standing in shoes and to the chin if they are standing in skates.

ENJOY!!!!
