What if my child does not know how to skate?

Luckily at KHS, we have one of the best skating schools in the nation! Check out “Skating Programs” on our webpage, and or contact Cherrie Sweeney skatingschool@khsice.com for more information.  After a session or two your child should be ready to get started in hockey!

My child has never played before and I don’t know anything about the game and the rules!

All of our coaches are certified USA Hockey coaches who can explain the game to you and your child in a positive and fun way.  We also have a number of skills clinics offered by professional coaches who would be happy to share their knowledge as well.

What is the difference between youth in-house and youth select?

Youth In-house hockey is appropriate for complete beginners to intermediate players.  Advanced players looking for a fun league to play in may play up one age group.
