Andover Huskies Youth Hockey Association

The Jr Huskie program is designed for boys & girls, ages 4-8, who can skate independently without assistance. The Fall program consists of 8, (one hour), sessions. Each session will start with 5-10 minutes of free play time. A professional instructor will then lead the participants in a group format thru a series of skating exercises designed to enhance edge work, and build confidence, (10-15 minutes). After a water break, the instructor will lead the group thru basic Hockey fundamentals including, stickhandling, passing, shooting, rushing the puck, give and go's etc., (10-15 minutes). After another water break, the last 10-15 minutes will include various tag games, focusing on FUN!
