PAL Learn to Skate and Learn to Play Hockey

PAL Hockey is back in 2025 for its 6th season!

We offer two classes: Learn to Skate (LTS) and Learn to Play Hockey (LTPH). If you are new or a weak skater than Learn to Skate is for you. We do hockey drills in hockey gear and do hockey stuff but focus on skating. 

Learn to Play Hockey (LTPH) is for our 2nd year skaters or those who can skate well. We work on stick/puck control and advanced skating techniques. 

Still dont know which one to pick? Register for LTS and we will bump you up if we need to.

We provide all equipment for those who need it free of charge. It does need to be returned after the last session. If you check off on the registration form that you need equipment we will be in contact with you regarding a fitting date.

PAL Hockey is successful due to its overwhelming support from SPD Officers, SFD Firefighters, local coaches and players who volunteer their time and most importantly The Rinks at the Shelton Sports Center for allowing us to skate a their amazing facility just over the Stratford/Shelton line! Most of our participants have 1 on 1 availability for help and instruction if required.

Want to learn to skate? Can you already skate and now want to learn to play hockey? Join us this summer! 

All equipment is provided thanks to generous donations from the Kids for Kids Foundation and The Rinks at Shelton.

P.A.L. would like to thank the President of the "Kids For Kids Foundation" Mr. Richard Branigan and his team for their generous donation! Seen here with our very own Sergeant Kevin Albohn and Detective Jason Creatore, who ran the program.
