Learn to Play
LTPH is a great way for players of all age levels to get out on the ice and be introduced to the fundamentals of the game. Intended for those new to the game, unsure if hockey is a good fit, or those nervous about the commitment of an entire 6-month schedule. This is meant for those brand new to the sport.
Once basic hockey competency is reached, players will also have the option, until the end of December, to register with MHA's House B program. This allows players to join same-aged players on a team and participate in games and tournaments against other associations.
