Inline Hockey Programs Participate in "Hockey Day" eventsLocal youth hockey associations in California and Massachusetts welcomed over 700 kids to Hockey Day events at 32 rinks on November 5th. The Try Hockey for Free events were designed for kids ages four to nine to experience ice or inline hockey, while learning the basics of the sport in a fun, safe environment.
Newcomers to the sport were given access to necessary hockey equipment, on-surface clinics and short scrimmages as they experienced their first hockey games.
California Hockey Day, held in 17 arenas across the state, was hosted by USA Hockey and OneGoal; the California Amateur Hockey Association; the National Hockey League's Anaheim Ducks, Los Angeles Kings and San Jose Sharks; and the ECHL's Ontario Reign and Stockton Thunder. Among the 17 arenas in California were 2 inline rinks that had 12 new kids that tried inline hockey for the first time. Meanwhile, USA Hockey, Mass Hockey, the NHL's Boston Bruins and OneGoal hosted Mass Hockey Day in 15 Massachusetts arenas.
USA Hockey is organizing similar events at as many as 200 rinks on Jan. 30, 2010, in conjunction with Hockey Weekend Across America. The Try Hockey for Free events will focus on growing the sport of hockey by welcoming first-time players to the ice across the country.
