Our sessions blend creativity, confidence-building, and purposeful development through playful skating games, puck-handling challenges, and age-appropriate hockey activities with a fun twist. Every drill is designed to keep kids engaged, spark their love for the game, and help them grow as players while having a blast on the ice.
Who is Ice Puffins For?
Ice Puffins is for girls who can skate independently and are excited to play hockey—whether they’re brand new to the sport or already have some experience. Players will be grouped based on skill level to ensure a fun and supportive environment for everyone.
This is not a high-intensity skill development program. Instead, Ice Puffins is all about fun, creativity, and fostering a love for the game through engaging games, skill-building activities, and hockey play in a low-pressure setting. Our focus is on confidence, friendships, and enjoyment on the ice!
Each session is led by Coach Kevin and Coach Matt, along with a team of trained helper coaches. We prioritize including female coaches to give girls positive role models on and off the ice.
Coach Kevin has spent over a decade in athletic development and has dedicated recent years to studying child psychology, athletic development research, and hands-on youth coaching. This work led to a framework built around two core principles:
Engagement – Fun activities that make kids excited to skate and play
Competence – Building confidence through success, so kids tackle new challenges with enthusiasm
Our approach integrates discovery learning, games-based training, and free play to create an environment where girls develop athletic skills naturally while building a lifelong love for sport.
It's not just about hockey—it's about helping girls build confidence, make friends, and develop a love for being active that extends far beyond the rink.
With a "fun first" approach to hockey, we aim to ignite a love for the game while building the kids' self-confidence.
