Initiation Program (IP)

LEARN TO PLAY HOCKEY!

No hockey experience required - New players welcome!

The Omaha Hockey Club Initiation Program (IP) offers beginning level hockey instruction to Omaha area boys and girls ages 4 and up. Players do not need prior hockey experience to join.

The program is designed to offer a fun and safe learning environment where players focus on:

The basic skills and rules of ice hockey
Concepts of playing on a team
Cooperation and fair play
Engaging in a physical activity that develops and refines coordination, balance, and motor skills

The ultimate goal of the initiation program is to instill an enjoyment of the game and a desire to continue to play the game at more advanced levels.

Our non-check youth hockey program gives players the chance to learn and improve critical hockey skills such as Skating, Puck Handling, Passing and Shooting all while having fun.
