Kids have chance to give hockey a try
PRESQUE ISLE — Presque Isle Youth Hockey invites boys and girls between the ages of 4 and 9 to the Forum on Saturday, Nov. 3 beginning at 3 p.m. for a “Try Hockey for Free” clinic.
Youth will have the opportunity to experience ice hockey for the first time and learn the basics of the sport in a fun, safe environment. The first 40 children in attendance will receive a free hockey jersey.
Try Hockey For Free Day is part of Come Play Hockey Month. This program, designed to provide youth hockey associations a national platform to introduce new kids to the sport, is a joint effort between USA Hockey, the National Hockey League, NHL member clubs and One Goal.
Try Hockey for Free Day also is a component of USA Hockey and the NHL’s collaboration with the Let’s Move! initiative to help the nation’s youth lead healthier, more active lives through hockey.
“We look forward to introducing new families to our sport,” said Doug Carlisle, PIYH president. “To help keep costs reasonable for parents, we’ve incorporated programs to provide first-year players with equipment for the season.”
