PAW 144 Ice Hockey

This team sport emphasizes ice skating skills used in the game of ice hockey, including stick and puck handling technique. Rules and strategies of the game will be taught and enforced as the students play in actual hockey scrimmages. Helmets will be required, equipment such as skates, pucks, sticks and helmets may be available at the rink. Students are responsible for transportation to the ice rink and a nominal cost for skating (skates and equipment are included in the fee). Students must be able to ice skate before taking this course. A skills test will be done on the first day on the ice for students to demonstrate forward and backward skating, and a snow plow stop or hockey stop.
