We are honoured that the New Tecumseth Girls Hockey Association has been awarded this program for the third time!
The NHL/NHLPA First Shift program is designed to ensure a positive experience for new-to-hockey families. We want families to experience the game at its best — to understand why so many Canadians feel an inherent love for the sport — and to stimulate a desire for continued participation. We want to take away any intimidation as it relates to equipment requirements, and/or rules of the game, remove potential safety concerns and, most importantly, provide an experience that is memorable and fun.
• BAUER equipment (head-to-toe) • Welcome Event • Equipment fit demonstration • Expert fit session and equipment collection • On-ice experience • Six weeks, one session/week, one hour on a consistent day and time • Focus on fun
