WICHITA FALLS, Texas - The Wichita Falls Wildcats invite boys and girls ages four to nine years old to the Kay Yeager Coliseum on Saturday, Nov. 2 at 10 a.m. for a Try Hockey for Free clinic to experience ice hockey for the first time and learn the basics of the sport in a fun, safe environment.
Try Hockey For Free Day is part of Come Play Hockey Month. This program, designed to provide youth hockey associations a national platform to introduce new kids to the sport, is a joint ̢̮=80=90 effort between USA Hockey, the National Hockey League, and NHL member clubs. With Total Hockey and Liberty Mutual Responsible Sports, the official sponsors of Try Hockey For Free Day, USA Hockey has 500 locations offering kids between the ages of 4 and 9 years old this unique opportunity.
"We look forward to introducing new families to our sport," said Nick Harper, director of ice hockey for the Texoma Youth Hockey Association. "To help keep costs reasonable for parents, we've incorporated programs to provide first-year players with equipment for the season."
New players will have the opportunity to use equipment for the entire season at no cost to the participant, aside from an initial deposit that will be returned at the end of the season.
