Learn To Play
Get your young athlete out on the ice with the Polar Caps Learn to Play program.
The program is specially designed for new hockey players, and focuses on developing basic foundation skating and hockey skills in your young player. They will have a blast learning and playing alongside their future Polar Caps teammates!
Polar Caps offers several Learn to Play (LTP) sessions beginning in the fall and throughout the winter season. Each LTP session runs for about 5 weeks. LTP is for our newest and often youngest players who may have had some prior experience skating. LTP is designed to be a fun, low-pressure introduction to basic hockey skills through games and free-play.
