Learn To Play Hockey
The North Attleborough Hockey Association announces new this year, "Learn to play hockey." This new program will run on Mondays, from 5 to 7 p.m. at the Iorio Arena in Walpole. North Attleborough's High School Varsity Coach, Steve Folan, will instruct this 13-week session from June 2 to Aug. 25. The cost is $225 for the entire session. This program is open to pre-mite (players born 2000 or later) through squirt (players born in 1998 and 1999) who have never skated before, those that wish to continue in their development, or perhaps have been away from skating for a while and wish to get back into it. For the young beginner skaters who never skated before, the on-ice instructors will provide the necessary tools to help skaters keep balance, learn a feel for the ice, and build confidence. Skaters will advance through this program.

The main goal of this program is to have fun, develop new skills, and to prepare the child for later levels of hockey. As they progress, the program is designed to help children learn the basics of hockey as well to teach puck handling, passing, and shooting. Full hockey equipment, including helmets with cages, is required. To register, please sign up on our website at www.northattleboroughhockey.com or send player name, address, phone, grade in Fall 08, birthdate, email address and parent names, to NAHA, 77 Division St., North Attleborough, MA 02760. Registration Deadline is May 20, but this may fill up quickly so register early.
