ARE YOU NEW TO HOCKEY?

 

Here are some resources to help those of you new (and some of you veteran parents) learn about the game of hockey, the equipment, the rules ... and the lifestyle. 

Remember,  if you ever have any questions, please feel free to contact a DHA Board member or one of the many coaches and volunteers listed on the site. 


WHY HOCKEY?

Did you hear about the sport from a friend or neighbor and want to find out more? 

First, you're in the right spot.  We offer programs for boys and girls at the youth level as well as high school aged players.

If you have a child that is interested in hockey regardless of age, or program, have them check out one of our free intro to hockey resources located in the right-hand column.  Our site has a tremendous amount of info so please look over what we have. 

Can't find what you are looking for? Just email us and we'll be happy to chat with you. 

Hockey is one of the fastest growing youth sports in the country right now. Don't worry if your kid has never played, our high-level coaches and practice environment will allow them to learn how to skate and stickhandle in no time.  A lot of kids have only picked up a hockey stick in the last year to two, and every year we add more new kids to our program.
