BAHA encourages local youth to hit the ice w/ new hockey program
New youth hockey program to premiere this fall
The Bozeman Amateur Hockey Association (BAHA) will be premiering a brand new beginner youth hockey program this fall. And the best part? It’s absolutely FREE!
It’s been long said that you should try something before you buy it, or at least read a decent amount of positive reviews online to make a well-informed decision. Well, why shouldn’t that apply to trying out different sports too? Starting this month, before regular season hockey programs even begin, BAHA will be offering a Learn to Play Hockey program for kids ages 4 through 15, that includes five on-ice practice sessions.
The next question on every parent’s mind that might be thinking about this program for his or her child is, “But, what about the cost of equipment?” Full head-to-toe equipment is included in BAHA’s Learn to Play Hockey program at no extra cost. BAHA was able to purchase 40 complete sets of youth hockey gear, all thanks to an incredibly generous anonymous donor who understands the value in giving back to youth recreation in the Gallatin Valley.
“We are beyond excited to offer a program for kids that includes free equipment,” said Hockey Director, Dave Weaver. “The Bozeman community has been long waiting for a program that offers trial hockey for free.”
Sign-ups and gear outfitting for BAHA’s Learn to Play Hockey program will take place on Wednesday, September 19th at Play It Again Sports in Bozeman from 4–8pm. Space is limited to the first 40 registrants.
The Learn to Play Hockey Program will be held at Haynes Pavilion on the following dates:
– Sept. 26th from 4:30–5:50pm
– Oct. 3rd from 4:30–5:50pm
– Oct. 10th from 4:30–5:50pm
– Oct. 18th from 4:30–5:50pm
– Oct. 20th from 10:30–11:50am
Haynes Pavilion opens September 24th. Ressler Motors Ice Rink at the Ice Barn is scheduled to open in late October. Full schedules and program details may be found at www.bozemanhockey.org.
The Bozeman Amateur Hockey Association is a nonprofit service organization whose mission is to provide facilities and programs for the development of quality, affordable, and disciplined competitive and recreational hockey. •
