Learn to Skate/Learn to Play:

The BJHL Development Program is offered for children to learn and develop skating skills and to learn the fundamentals of hockey. Eligible players must not be part of the travel league program (level Mite B and up). 

Learn to Skate is a program for children who have never skated before, or who have limited skating experience. Our program teaches basic skating skills and is designed to be a fun program that builds a child's confidence on the ice and provides them the fundamentals to transition into our Learn To Play hockey program.

Our Learn to Play program incorporates skating and skills stations to strengthen skating and introduces stick handling, passing, and shooting skills in accordance with USA Hockey guidelines. Developing these skills provides players the fundamentals to transition into our Mite level travel program

It is mandatory that all skaters have full hockey equipment shortly after the start of Learn to Skate/Learn to Play. This includes a hockey helmet with cage, elbow and shin pads, hockey pants, and a chest protector. Some sporting goods stores have starter packages available for instructional players. You can also join the BJHL Community Facebook group and post "in search of" equipment listings to find members who may have used equipment in good condition. Learn to Play participants will also need sticks, however the coaches will let you know when that time comes.

This year BJHL is offering a 'preseason' learn to skate program that starts September 8, 2024 through October 13, 2024 every Sunday at 11:30am right here in Burrillville at Levy Rink.  The cost for the preseason session will be $85.
