WORCESTER - Worcester Sharks President and CEO Michael T. Lehr has announced that the Worcester Sharks will be hosting the 2nd Annual Worcester Sharks Hockey School presented by Ice Works Elite Hockey Training which will offer local youth hockey players the experience of a lifetime.

The 2nd annual Worcester Sharks hockey school will expose the players to a pro-level environment and all the amenities that the professional athletes train with.
