If you as a parent want to participate on-ice, our insurance carrier requires that you wear hockey skates and a helmet. You must also attend a USA Hockey certification clinic and fill out a form for background screening.

The Skill Development Program is for boys and girls of all ages and is designed for beginning hockey players who want to learn the basics of the game. The players should know skating basics.  Skill Development focuses on improving skating skills, stick-handling, and positioning.  We usually have cross-ice scrimmage games as the season progresses.
 
Our goal is to teach hockey skills and improve skating so that in the player’s second year of skating they may progress in the Marquette Junior Hockey program.
 
Mandatory Equipment for Hockey Programs:
  • Helmet
  • Breezers (hockey pants)
  • Gloves
  • Elbow & Shin Pads
  • Skates
