Hockey U

WANT TO TRY HOCKEY WITHOUT COMMITTING TO BUYING ALL THE EQUIPMENT?  WANT TO LEARN FROM THE PROS?

The Richmond Generals Hockey League is proud to offer HockeyU, which is designed to allow participants to sample ice hockey at an affordable entry-level investment.

HockeyU is offered year-round in 7- or 8-week program intervals.  It includes free loaner equipment ($100 refundable deposit required) and professional hockey and skating instruction. It is suggested skaters have helmet, stick, gloves, shin pads and elbow pads.  If you don't have all these items we suggest you obtain everything from the rink.

Choose from our two program locations at Richmond Ice Zone or SkateNation Plus.

Fitting for the loaner equipment is on the first day of each session at Richmond Ice Zone from 10:00am-12:30pm.  There are no fitting sessions at SkateNation Plus so if you register for a SkateNation Plus session and need equipment, please attend the fitting session at Richmond Ice Zone.
