Did you know that the Pelham Civic Complex and Ice Rink offers a Learn to Play Hockey program?
What is Learn to Play?
Learning to play hockey is more than just learning a game. More than skating, passing and stick-handling, hockey is about responsibility, respect and teamwork. As children learn the skills needed to succeed on the ice, they also build and solidify important character traits needed to succeed off the ice. With that in mind, the Learn to Play initiative was developed jointly by the National Hockey League and the National Hockey League Players’ Association to offer more families a chance to experience everything that makes youth hockey so rewarding.
Developed with the help of experts from USA Hockey and Hockey Canada, the Learn to Play initiative aims to be the gold standard for youth hockey programs with the goal of inspiring more families to join the hockey community. Learn to Play changes the way youth hockey is offered by providing first time participants, free head-to-toe equipment, weekly sessions of age appropriate on-ice instruction and certified coaching, led by National Hockey League Alumni, in a fun and safe atmosphere. Learn to Play on-ice instruction plans have been developed in collaboration with experts from USA Hockey and Hockey Canada and taught by certified instructors and led by National Hockey League Alumni.
Program Fees:
The program provides FREE head-to-toe equipment for your child to keep as they continue exploring youth hockey. However, there is a participation fee associated with the program which offsets ice and coaching expenses. The participation fee may vary by facility and market.
Additional Program Information:
This program is designed for first-time players only.
If your child does not know how to skate, we highly recommend you sign up for a “Learn to Skate” class at a local rink. Most of the participating rinks have these programs.
Participants must register online. Phone and/or in-person registration at individual rinks will NOT be accepted.
If your preferred locations are sold out before you register, please complete the waiting list form. If an opening becomes available, you may be contacted.

The Birmingham Zoo is excited to introduce new Zoo Camp at the Birmingham Zoo! Zoo camps have always been amazing, but this year they have revamped the program to include even more hands-on science, nature play, conservation and ‘zoo-learning’! Zoo camps are educational and encourage active learning through games, crafts, age-appropriate explorations, and special encounters with a variety of their resident animals. Rich in STEM-based explorations, these camps engage the natural curiosity of a child and allow ample opportunity to practice critical emerging science skills. Learning has never been so much FUN!
