New to Hockey

Getting Started:

Hockey is a fun, fast-paced sport for all ages! Beginners can join learn-to-skate or learn-to-play programs to build confidence on the ice.

What to Expect:

Practices focus on skating, stickhandling, and teamwork. Younger players start with non-competitive, fun-focused games.

Costs & Assistance:

LPHA offers free registration for the 1st year and scholarships are available to those with a financial need.  

You must also register for USA Hockey which costs range from $30.00 for a 6U to $91.00 for a 14U player. 

LPHA will also also hold a deposit until April 15 of the following year to cover fundraising and Volunteer hours.  The whole deposit will be refunded if fundraising and volunteer hours are met.  

Parent Tips:

• Arrive early (30 min) for practice to get geared up.
