What is Learn to Play?
Developed with the help of experts from USA Hockey and Hockey Canada, the Learn to Play initiative aims to be the gold standard for youth hockey programs with the goal of inspiring more families to join the hockey community. Learn to Play changes the way youth hockey is offered by providing first time participants, head-to-toe equipment for first time participants only, weekly sessions of age appropriate on-ice instruction and certified coaching, led by National Hockey League Alumni, in a fun and safe atmosphere. Learn to Play on-ice instruction plans have been developed in collaboration with experts from USA Hockey and Hockey Canada and taught by certified instructors and led by National Hockey League Alumni.

When?
Sundays Starting 12/12/2020

Where?
Wonderland of Ice  Bridgeport CT

Program Fees ($250)
The program provides ten sessions of learn to play and head-to-toe equipment, for first time participants only, for your child to keep as they continue exploring youth hockey.

USA HOCKEY COACH OF THE MONTH

9/1/2019

 
Congratulations to Coach Chuck on being named Coach of the Month by USA Hockey Magazine!! The below article appears in the September issue.

USA Hockey Coach of the Month - Chuck Leonard

Age: 47 Middlebury, Conn.

Chuck Leonard has a hand in everything that’s going on in the Watertown Youth Hockey Association. As the master scheduler at the Taft School ice rink, he coordinates practice ice times and game slots across the organization, where he also serves as vice president.

The Level 4 coach spent the last season coaching three teams, including two that
his daughter, Allison, plays on.

Whether it’s with subbing in as a coach, opening the rink and cleaning it after a tournament or filling in as a referee, Leonard is willing to do it all.

He began coaching over three decades ago, when as a high school senior he and
 a couple of friends coached a Ridgefield youth house league team. He’s stuck with it since, while working as a full-time surveyor.

Leonard tries his best to make sure every member on the team is having fun, prompting his players to ‘work hard and have fun, a mantra he embodies year after year.

“It’s just so much fun. The kids are great,” he said. “Overall I’ve had a lot of really good experiences while coaching.”


Thank You amanda!
