Registration needs to be completed prior to going on the ice. Any child not pre-registered with both BYH and USA Hockey will NOT be allowed on the ice until completed.
The Registration "Learn To Skate" is not currently available.
Our Instructional/Learn to Skate program runs every Sunday morning from 8:00am - 9:00am from November to March. It is catered to children between the ages of 3 years old and 8 years old who have never skated before. These kids are afforded to opportunity to learn at their own pace and eventually begin basic on-ice skills. Coaches are volunteers and consist of youth hockey coaches, current and former Berlin Youth Hockey players.
The ice will be split into 2 sides. A Learn to skate side which will wear red jerseys and a Learn to play side which will be wearing black jerseys.
During the first session we will do our best to get the kids split into the sides that they belong on. Jerseys will be handed out during the first session and will need to be returned at the end of the season.
The end goal is to get as many kids to learn to play side (black jerseys) as we can.
This is where your child will learn the very basics of skating including balancing, getting up from falls, and feeling comfortable accelerating. There will be buckets and skating aids available. Skates and full cage helmet are required. Additional gear is recommended: Shin pads or knee pads, elbow pads, gloves, hockey pants.
The Learn to play side is for the more advanced skater who is ready to learn how to play hockey. On this side they will be led through skating drills and hockey related drills. On this side of the ice kids will need to have full hockey gear to play. Sticks are required along with skates, shin pads, hockey socks, pants, elbow pads, chest pads, hockey gloves, and a full cage helmet.
Please write your child’s name on white hockey tape and stick it to the front of the helmet so the coaches can see names.
Please be at the rink approximately 25-30 minutes early the first day so your child has enough time to dress. We have many players registered and we expect it to be somewhat hectic as all of our first-time players get ready and get on the ice.
