Depending on what you are looking to get out our your program, RINK's Skill to Game program is the perfect place to start featuring a tailored focus on individual skills which are common in today's game, and then the opportunity to showcase these skills in game like situations. This program consists of a specific skill focus for 25 mins. followed by a scrimmage for 25 mins. The Skills to Game program will give players the chance to use their newly acquired skills in a scrimmage scenario right in the same session.

The Skating and Skills Program is designed to develop great habits through the proper techniques. On-ice, skaters will focus on balance and body position for a variety of techniques. While mastering puck control, skaters will learn to give and receive passes both stationary and in-motion. This program focuses on a well-rounded approach to the skater’s skill development.

3 on 3 Hockey
3 on 3 hockey is a fast-paced, high-scoring, high-skilled variant of the traditional game of hockey. Played on our customed-sized training sheet (120ft x 60ft), it is played with three skaters and goalie per team on the ice, and forces players to think and react faster than normal game like scenarios. The smaller ice sheet and fewer players result in a wide-open, high-scoring game with lots of end-to-end action. The smaller size of the rink also puts a premium on speed, agility, and quick reflexes, as players must be able to make quick turns and transitions in order to keep up with the fast pace of the game. The game is typically divided into short shifts, with teams making frequent line changes in order to keep players fresh and maintain the intensity of the action.
Experience the fast-paced, high-scoring excitement of 3 on 3 hockey. Played on our custom-sized training sheet, this format is perfect for both players and goalies looking to enhance their skills in a dynamic environment. Available Sundays from September 7th to November 3rd for U9, U11, and U13/U15.
