Learn to Play Program

Learn to Play is a program that provides a unique opportunity for families to join the hockey community and for participants to develop fundamental skills to help them succeed both on and off the ice. Created jointly by the National Hockey League Players’ Association (NHLPA) and the National Hockey League (NHL). Learn to Play’s goal is to inspire youth and welcome more families into the hockey community.

The popular Learn to Play Program takes place at Bojangles Coliseum each fall and offers six on-ice sessions and a full set of equipment to keep. This program is exclusive to new, first-time hockey participants (boys and girls) aged 5-9. Previous skating experience is recommended but not required. Online registration can be found here when available.
