The hockey curriculum is designed to teach the fundamentals of hockey skating.  In 3 badge levels, skaters will learn to maneuver faster and be more agile on the ice.  All elements in Pre-Hockey 1 & 2 will be taught without a stick or puck as proper skating techniques are the primary focus of these levels.  In Pre-Hockey 3, skaters will be required to bring a stick.  After completing pre-hockey 3, skaters advance into the Coyotes Amateur Hockey Associations (CAHA) Initiation Program (IP).  Classes are combined for all age levels.

Requirements:
For admission into Pre-Hockey 1, all skaters must be in hockey skates (rental or skater’s own) and a certified hockey helmet is mandatory. Skaters must be able to skate across the ice in hockey skates unattended.

For admission into Pre-Hockey 3, all skaters must be in hockey skates (rental or skater’s own), use a certified hockey helmet and hockey gloves and must have their own hockey stick.
