HOCKEY CANADA INITIATION PROGRAM WEBSITE
Hockey Canada developed the Initiation Program to make children's first contact with hockey a safe and positive experience. It's a structured, learn-to-play hockey program designed to introduce beginners to the game's basic skills, in a teaching station and cross-ice game format. It enables participants to become contributing members of a team, develop self-confidence, and experience a sense of personal achievement. These goals are achieved in an atmosphere of fun and fair play.
Hockey Edmonton Districts and Operating Areas, coaches, and parents are encouraged to visit the Hockey Edmonton TIMBITS Program Resources webpage for further resources and information.
