VWYHA registration

Kids 4 and 5 years of age who are just starting out can register on the VWYHA Site for the Learn To Play program. VWYHA provides rental equipment for a $60 deposit, that is reimbursed when the equipment is returned. (New skaters can receive free rental.) The registration fee for Learn to Play is only $50.

What is the next step after Learn to Skate?

You may register your child for the U6 cross-ice level.

The U6 level takes the very basic skating skills learned in the LTP program and continues to build on and improve the basic skills.  The U6 level also provides an opportunity for the skaters to experience playing the game of hockey at its basic level.
