Novice Program

Allen Park Hockey Association

The APHA Novice Hockey program is broken up into two sessions The first session begins in October and concludes near the end of December. The second session begins in January and concludes at the end of March.  The Novice Hockey program is designed to teach basic skating and hockey skills to the beginning player.  The program’s emphasis is on improving the children's skating skill as well as the basic skills of the game of hockey.  Children will participate at skating and hockey drills as well as playing games.  The novice program offers the beginning player an excellent, low stress, non competitive introduction to the game of hockey.   Although not a strict requirement, the Novice program is generally considered prerequisite to entering our House League or Travel Hockey programs.
