Community Snapshot: Trying Hockey For Free

Castle Ice hosts monthly Try Hockey Free Program

Once a month Sno-King Amateur Hockey Association in partnership with Castle Ice and Kingsgate Arenas host a monthly Try Hockey Free Program for kid’s ages 4 to 12, the goal is simple to have fun and learn about the game of hockey.

Instructor Mason McTaggart in his fifth year doing the program says nearly 95% of the kids who do the free program end up coming back to the seven week program.

“We are here to have as much fun as possible,” McTaggart said. “We want them to keep an open mind and to have as much fun possible.”
