Learn To Skate
The Learn to Skate program is designed to teach beginner skaters and new hockey players the fundamental skills of skating. Participants will focus on becoming comfortable on the ice while learning the skills.
Ages
The program is ideal for kids ages 4-7, but we also welcome skaters 3 and up who are ready to learn.
WHERE
Practices will be held at Hoyt Lakes Arena.
When
Details of the program are still being finalized, but we will update soon with dates, times, and additional information.
What to Expect
Practices will begin as 30-minute sessions at the start of the season. In January, as the skaters build stamina and ability, we will move into 45-minute sessions.
To keep kids engaged, we incorporate fun games while learning skills, and we also strive to keep the routine consistent, so they always know what to expect.
Equipment
- Helmet (bike, ski, or hockey helmet required)
- Skates (families provide their own; seasonal rentals are available locally and can be a great option)
- Winter gear like coats, snowpants, and gloves for warmth and extra padding
Registration Fees
Registration fees help cover the cost of ice time for practices and learning equipment. In addition, $60 of each registration fee goes directly to the City of Hoyt Lakes to support arena and recreation fees.
All players are required to have a valid USA Hockey or Learn to Skate number each season. Please note that additional fees apply as part of USA Hockey registration.

Please complete one of the registrations above to receive a member number. If your skater plans to participate in MEYHA Hockey Programs, we recommend registering with USA Hockey. You will enter this number as part of the registration process.
