Looking for a fun, pressure-free way to introduce your child to hockey? The NHL/NHLPA FIRST SHIFT program is built specifically for new-to-hockey families. It's designed to take the guesswork out of getting started, from understanding equipment needs to learning the basics of the game in a safe, supportive environment.
Whether your family has never stepped foot in an arena or you've been curious but unsure where to begin, FIRST SHIFT offers a welcoming, memorable experience that shows why so many Canadians love this sport.
Hockey Canada and its Members want to end the culture of silence that exists in parts of hockey. To help ensure that we are a safe space for raising concerns, a new, fully independent, and confidential reporting mechanism has been established.
If you’re interested in registering to play hockey, we can help you find your local association.
After 16 months of listening and learning, the Hockey Nova Scotia Diversity & Inclusion Task Force has released their report and recommendations on making the game more welcoming and diverse.
