Euclid, OH - Girls ages 4 to 12 are invited to the C.E. Orr Ice Arena for a Try Hockey for Free event to experience ice hockey and learn the basics of the sport in a fun, safe environment. The event will take place on Saturday, September 29, 2012 at the C.E. Orr Ice Arena (22550 Milton Drive - off Babbitt Rd.) from 1:00 PM - 2:30 PM. Join us before or after the event as we are helping the Ohio Flames (http://www.ohioflames.org/) as they host their annual "Ignite the Ice" Tournament featuring girls and womens teams from across the United States.
“There has been a huge increase in participation within our program and the area in Girls hockey. Our Try Hockey for Free programs offer potential players a chance to experience the game of hockey and see what a great sport it truly is,” said Rick Kish, Hockey Director. “This opportunity will give these kids an opportunity to learn the sport and encourage Olympic dreams of their own.”
Newcomers will have access to all the necessary hockey equipment for the event. In addition, on-ice support will be present to teach kids how to get dressed, stand on skates, hold a stick, and skate around. The highlight of each clinic will be a short scrimmage for participants to experience their first hockey game.
