Learn To Play.jpg

The San Diego Gulls Learn to Play Hockey Program offers first-time hockey players the chance to get on the rink in full hockey equipment for FREE! Participants will receive instruction on the basics of hockey as well as learn how to skate properly. The program is designed for participants ages 4-to-12 years old. No prior skating or hockey experience is required. Participants already comfortable skating a length of the ice who want to try hockey are encouraged to register for the Little Ducks Hockey Initiation program.*

Participants in the San Diego Gulls Learn to Play Hockey Program are provided an equipment bag, helmet, shin guards, hockey pants, elbow pads, shoulder pads, gloves and a jersey to use for the four-week session. Rental skates are available at the rink each week. The use of full hockey equipment not only gives participants the feel of what it’s like to be a hockey player, but also enables them to get use to skating, wearing all of the hockey gear.**
