Learn to Play Hockey
LTPH Officially Begins: Monday January 21st 6:15pm-7:05pm & Thursday January 24th 6:30pm-7:20pm
Cost: $59 for one night a week or $118 for both nights
Our Goal:
To teach the fundamentals of ice skating and hockey while creating an environment that cultivates fun and learning. During the instructional session time, students will be taught how to control their edges, skate forwards and backwards, pass and shoot a puck, and many more things. During the "game time", students will be able to use their newly acquired skills in a half-ice hockey game which will be monitored by coaches and staff!
The Coaches:
Ohio University's Men's Hockey coach Dan Morris and Ohio University D-II Head Coach, Philip Oberlin will be teaching the "Learn To Play Hockey" program this year. Dan Morris has been coaching at OU since 2000. In that time, he has led the Bobcats to the 2004 ACHA National Championship and several regular season and tournament titles.
Philip played college hockey at Ohio University.
Equipment Use:
Bird Arena will be providing equipment to those participants who do not have their own. This equipment is to be returned to Bird Arena at the end of the session, unless the skater is already enrolled in the next session. Rental skates will also be provided at the start of each lesson time at no cost, courtesy of Bird Arena.
