Learning to skate and play, last night at the Richmond Oval, free session

This week we had some new hockey players take the first step to realizing the Canadian dream! These players strapped on their skates, and even if they had no previous experience got out there and took a leap of faith to learn a new skill! They had always thought it was too hard, or that they would never be able to do it because they did not play when they were kids. But look at them go!

What an awesome experience they will surely never forget!

“When I decided to learn hockey (in my 40s), I chose a different program in Surrey.  Seeing the difference between NCHL’s approach to teaching and learning the game to the other leagues is incredible.  I think I learned more about technique on Thursday than I did in 11 weeks at the other program.  Andre is a VERY good teacher (I’ve been a school teacher for 20 years now) and is able to break down the components of skating and stick handling in a way that I’ve never heard. I was so happy to have attended (even as a non-newbie)!” – Josh C.

“My past experience on the ice and with playing hockey in general was minimal – skating with my sons (age 6 and 4) at open skate sessions and playing road hockey with them out front of our house (and of course watching it on tv), so it was a lot of fun to put everything together and actually doing it myself. I learned more in the hour and a half on the ice this week than I could have imagined.
I plan to sign up for the full program in January so I can try to keep up with my kids on the ice.” – Wade S.
