THE FUN STARTS HERE! 

The NHL/NHLPA FIRST SHIFT program is designed to create a positive, welcoming, and fun introduction to hockey for new-to-hockey families. Our goal is to provide a stress-free and enjoyable experience that showcases the best parts of Canada’s favorite sport.

Through this program, we aim to:
✅ Remove intimidation around equipment, rules, and safety

✅ Create an unforgettable first hockey experience!

This is the perfect opportunity for kids who have never played hockey before to get started in a fun, structured, and supportive environment—and fall in love with the game!
