It is often said, "A kid on ice is seldom in hot water." Obviously Ice Hockey develops skating skills, endurance and eye-hand-coordination; but it will also build on the lessons of life. How to play and interact with a team, how to set goals, builds respect toward other team mates, opposing players, coaches and parents. Our coaching philosphy is not to win at all cost and never at the expense of any player. Our goal as an association is to develop your child into the best hockey player he/she wants to be, but at the same time teaching him/her to develop their personal skills that will be used the rest of their life!

The game of Ice Hockey is an ancient art dated back to the early 1800s. Adapted from the Irish game of hurling, the Mimic Indians of Nova Scotia used a hurley stick and a wooden block to play the earliest know version of Ice Hockey. Some inspired young men attending the first college of Canada had a brilliant idea and decided to take their field game of hurley and put it on the local ice. The result was a new game sensation that came to be know as ice hurley. The local blacksmiths in the area developed the art of crafting block skates and gradually the game began to take off with people playing it in other areas of Canada such as Montreal and Kingston, Ontario. Today, Ice Hockey is a well-known national sport with many amateur, professional and youth leagues throughout the world.
