Wednesday, August 15, 2018

Prior to the beginning of each season (Fall/Winter and Spring/Summer), the Greater Seattle Hockey League will be hosting a series of four complimentary Evaluation Skate sessions. During these sessions, participants will be put through several drills -- including skating, shooting, passing, etc. -- followed by a light scrimmage. League officials will assess each participant's skills and place participants in the appropriate division based upon displayed skill level.   By participating in an Evaluation Skate, participants commit themselves to the player draft conducted right before the start of the season. Once a participant is selected by a team, the captain of the team they are drafted to will be in contact with the participant to review next steps. Schedule Please plan on arriving at least 30-45 minutes prior to the scheduled start time of the Evaluation Skate to register, receive information and suit up.  Sunday, August 26 - 7:30pm at Olympic View Arena Tuesday, September 4 - 8:30pm at Lynnwood Ice Center Sunday, September 9 - 7:30pm at Everett Community Ice Rink Wednesday, September 12 - 8:15pm at Kent Valley Ice Centre

Learning to play hockey is more than just learning a game. More than skating, passing and stick-handling, hockey is about responsibility, respect and teamwork. As adults learn the skills needed to succeed on the ice, they also build and solidify important character traits needed to succeed off the ice.     The Greater Seattle Hockey League (GSHL) Learn to Play Hockey (LTPH) program aims to be the gold standard for hockey programs with the goal of inspiring more adults to join the hockey community. LTPH changes the way adult hockey is offered by providing weekly sessions of skill appropriate on-ice instruction by certified coaches in a fun and safe atmosphere. LTPH on-ice instruction plans have been developed in collaboration with experts from USA Hockey. Learn to Play Hockey Program Schedule This 8-week program is held each Sunday, 4:30pm at Olympic View Arena in Mountlake Terrace for a cost of $200 all inclusive.  Sunday, September 23 Sunday, September 30 Sunday, October 7 Sunday, October 14 Sunday, October 21 Sunday, October 28 Sunday, November 4 Sunday, November 11 At the completion of the LTPH series, the goal is to turn the participants of the series into a team that starts their season right away.
