Spring Announcements - 2025

The Learn to Play Hockey program is a USA Hockey Cross-Ice Instructional program. All practice plans are based on USA Hockey's American Development Model (ADM). This program is designed to be the natural progression into the Orchard Lake Hockey Association Mini-Mite & Mite program.
