Our Fall/Winter Rascals Learn to Play Hockey Program is the largest Learn to Play Hockey Program in Western Canada. Last year, we had over 100 Rascals join our program! The Rascals program features a fun environment where kids are challenged with games and drills according to their rascal grouping. The players are placed in smaller groups on the ice with kids of comparable ability so that everyone gains confidence and can interact with each other at a similar level. Not only do kids grow their hockey skills, but they also make tons of new friends, develop their social skills, grow confidence, and, of course, have a ton of fun. The BWC program runs on Wednesdays and Saturdays. There are no early morning ice times or inconvenient hours. So what are you waiting for? We hope to see you out on the ice this fall.
The focus of this program is to combine learning to skate and learning to play hockey. Players must be able to stand and glide forward on the ice to participate in the program. Full hockey gear is required. We recommend that players complete at least 2 skating levels prior to registering.
Not sure which level to register in? Don't worry! The Rascals instructors will place your child in an approximate level (based on age and skill) and then assess them during the first couple of sessions to ensure they're in the appropriate level. Generally, if they have completed a level, they will be moved into the next level (i.e. if they completed Rascals 2, they will be in Rascals 3 next).
