Mite/Squirt, three on three (3x3): 6/16 through 8/18, Wednesdays from 6 to 7 PM. Note: There is no session on 8/4. Champions Skating Center, 6 Progress Dr., Cromwell, CT. This is based on USA Hockey guidelines. Your child will have fun, touch the puck more and get more exercise to allow continued improvement with skill development. The cross ice concept utilizes the width of the ice rink in two zones at one time. Two separate games can be played at one time. There is no stoppage of play and no checking. All players will develop their skills: passing, skating, shooting and stick handling. Each team will change every two minutes. If a team scores the puck is dug out of the net and play continues. Cross ice hockey will benefit younger players by developing: (1.) Creativity (2.) More touches of the puck (3.) More shooting, passing, skating and scoring opportunities and (4.) Less stopping of play.
Cost $125.00. Registration form is located under the "Documents" tab on left.
