Portland Junior Pirates

Imagine your child's delight each week when he/she is introduced to the sport of ice hockey. This is a fun program that allows your child to begin skating drills using a stick and puck. This program has many of the same objectives as our Learn to Skate program only applied in a hockey environment. This 12 week program is for children who have had some skating experience, but may not be ready for the Portland Junior Pirates Cross-Ice Hockey Development Program.

In preparation for the Junior Pirates cross-ice hockey development program, there will also be some sessions devoted to playing a cross-ice hockey game amongst each other. Players must be fully outfitted in hockey equipment and will be supplied with a Little Crackers hockey jersey which must be worn each week for entrance onto the ice surface. Equipment Required: All skaters must have a HEC approved helmet & face mask, hockey stick, hockey gloves, elbow pads, shin pads, and neck guard.
