Come join NCWHL’s popular Give Hockey a Try Day!

First-time skaters and goalies welcome. We’ll gear you up and teach you everything you need to know to get started. Most participants have little to no prior hockey experience. Our League coaches will walk you through some basic on-ice drills, then you’ll participate in your first ever low-key, controlled scrimmage. Our League members will cheer you on as you PLAY HOCKEY! Much fun will be had!

Many of our League skaters started with this fun event and have played with NCWHL for many years. We hope you’re ready to hit the ice, too!

We need volunteers to help make this event a success!

Hi friends! We have over fifty skaters and five goalie tryers on ice for our Give Hockey a Try Day event on Aug 2. This involves a lot of set up to get that many people on the ice, especially since we lost our storage space and now have to schlep everything from the storage unit.

Please volunteer your time and expertise to introduce new friends to our favorite sport by filling out the form below. I need at least thirty people to pull this off. Snacks! We will have snacky stuff! =D
