LIL Huskies
Join the Huskies for our learn to play hockey program on Monday nights from 5:00 – 5:50pm at Canlan in Romeoville.
Huskies Hockey Director Chad Green and other Huskies coaches will lead the kids through a series of fun drills and games that will improve their skating, puck control, passing, shooting, and — most importantly — love of the game. This program is for players who can skate but are new to hockey. Our ‘one step at a time’ instruction is designed specifically for 4 to 8 year old hockey players to allow them to grow and build confidence at their own pace.
Session 1
October 2–November 6 (6 weeks for $100)
Session 2
November 13–December 18 (6 weeks for $100)
Session 3
January 8–February 26 (8 weeks for $150)
Drop-ins for any session are $25 each
Try Hockey for Free

Each participant will receive a jersey, t-shirt, hockey stick, and tickets to a Blackhawks game for the upcoming 2023-24 season.

What parents are saying...
Transferring to the Huskies was the best and most positive experience we could give our son. His development in one season has been tremendous and we look forward to another season with the Huskies and watching our son grow into a more advanced and smart hockey player!
