The three-month Mini Monsters program will include weekly instruction for all participants and rental of head-to-toe equipment including stick, helmet with cage, shoulder pads, elbow pads, hockey pants, shin guards, socks, neck guard, and hockey skates. The program registration fee is $200 and participants will also receive their own Mini Monsters hockey jersey and a ticket to a 2024-25 Monsters game, at which they will be recognized for completion of the program.

The Winter Session will begin on Monday, January 6 and conclude on Monday, March 31. Participants must be proficient in skating and have participated in a learn to skate program prior to enrolling in the Mini Monsters program.
