They must be supervised by a legal guardian.
Pre-registration is encouraged but not required for Stick & Puck sessions.
Coaches: Yes, coaches are welcome to join their player(s) during Stick & Puck sessions and private instruction is allowed.

We do our best to keep Stick & Puck sessions on the calendar where available. During hockey season months, our ice availability becomes very limited and impacts how much we can schedule ice time for public sessions like Stick & Puck.
