WHEN AND WHERE DOES IT ALL HAPPEN?
The TNHC Adult Beginner Program runs once per year, from December to April.
Our 416 (Toronto) Program runs on Sundays, starting in December at The Rinx in North York (see map below).
Our 905 (G.T.A.) Program runs on Mondays, starting in December at the CAA Centre in Brampton (see map below).
HOW DOES IT WORK?
All you have to do is register, we do the rest. We provide you with a uniform, and will place you on a team of beginners who are just like you.
The program starts with 10 weeks of hockey school. Run by professional instructors, you’ll learn all the essentials - in a relaxed, no-pressure environment. During those 10 weeks you’ll work on your skating, stick handling, passing, and shooting. You’ll learn about basic hockey concepts such as positioning and team work. Finally, you will play in simulated games to get you ready for the real thing.
Once you’ve completed the school, your team will be placed in a league of other beginner teams, and begin playing against them in proper hockey games with on-ice officials and timekeeping.
The Beginner Program wraps up after the regular season schedule is over with a Tournament Playoff weekend. You’ll enjoy the thrill and intensity of playoff hockey as your team competes to have its name engraved on the True North Hockey Canada Cup.
COME ONE, COME ALL.
You can join by yourself. Or with a group of friends. Bring your son or daughter, your mother or father, or even your sister or brother. Although the program is well suited for individuals, many enjoy making it an experience to share with friends.
