Morgantown Hockey
Skill Development Programs
Morgantown Hockey Association offers several Skill Development programs to help our players with their skills.
Learn to Skate/Play - An introductory program giving the basic introduction to skating and hockey. A chance for players to learn basic skating and determine if they want to continue playing.
Level 1 - For our beginning players just starting out. This program focuses on skating fundamentals and beginning hockey skills such as stick handling, puck control, and passing.
Level 2 - For our intermediate level players who already have some hockey experience. This program focuses on intermediate level skating and hockey skills such as crossovers, positions, and shooting. (Required for our 8U teams)
Level 3 - For our more advanced level players who have higher level hockey skills. This program focuses on advanced skating and hockey skills such as edgework, systems, and competitive contact. (Required for our 10U players and optionally available for 12U and Girls team players).
Ages
Players usually start in our Learn to Play program between the ages of 4-8, but it is never to late to start learning! After that the progression is based on skill level rather than ages.
When
Our Learn to Play/Skate program is usually held in September, and then our Developmental programs begin in October and run through mid-February.
Extra Costs
For those that are starting out, equipment can be rented for the season for $50. This allows your child to start playing at a low cost before committing to purchasing all the equipment.
