Winston Salem Youth Hockey Association

Learn To Play Hockey is for boys and girls with little or no ice hockey experience interested in learning the fundamentals of hockey.

The Learn To Play Fall session runs 8-weeks from October through December.  Practices are on Sunday afternoons from 4:45-5:45 at the Winston-Salem Fairgrounds Annex.

Learn to Play is FREE for all new players. If you have not registered for LTP in the past, see the link below to get a discount code.

If your player has already received a free LTP session in the past, the cost is $110.

All players will receive a free Jr Thunderbird's Jersey!

If you're interested in being an on-ice coach or helper, please use the email link below for more information and a discount code!

Full hockey gear is required to participate in LTP.   

We offer an equipment rental package at a cost of $50 plus a $100 deposit ($150 total). The $100 deposit will be refunded when you return the equipment. Our equipment includes a helmet, shoulder pads, elbow pads, gloves, shin pads and a jersey. Equipment rentals are provided on a first come first served basis.

Please note that skates are NOT guaranteed and are included based on our available inventory.  If we don't have skates for your player, rental skates will also be available at the start of each lesson at no cost, courtesy of the Annex. Rental skates must be returned at the end of each practice.

Good-fitting, quality skates can make a huge difference in your child’s enjoyment, so we strongly encourage all skaters to purchase their own pair.
