Intro To Hockey - Ages 5 and Up

Intro Coordinator
Welcome to Intro to Hockey
Intro to Hockey is a great place for youth to learn how to play ice hockey. Our program features non-contact classes and is designed for anyone who wants to work on their hockey fundamentals. Ages five (5) and up are welcomed, provided they have the ability to skate on their own, and there are no safety concerns expressed by the coaching staff. It is fun, safe, and we will get your player zipping around the ice in no time!
EVERYONE CAN PLAY!
The Santa Rosa Flyers strongly believe that everyone can play hockey. Our mission is to grow the passion of hockey in everyone who is interested. Sometimes different abled kids learn differently. If your player has any special learning needs that need to be met in order to be successful in hockey please call Coach Woida before completing the registration in order to discuss how to ensure their success.
Volunteering On The Ice
Experienced hockey players who are interested in helping on ice need to register with the club as a volunteer BEFORE taking the ice for any practices. Once you have completed the volunteer requirements and registration including background check and SafeSport please reach out to Coach Chris.
