PART 2:  THE DOG POUND - LEARN TO PLAY CROSS-ICE PROGRAM

So your child has the fundamentals of skating down and now wants to play hockey?  The Holland Hockey Association Dog Pound "Learn to Play" Cross-Ice Program builds upon the fundamental skills learned in Learn to Skate.  Through a variety of drills and three on three scrimmages your player will gain confidence in stick/puck handling, shooting and basic hockey plays.  Your player will also learn the values of hard work and teamwork.  He/She will also leave the ice with a big smile on their little face and a very sweaty head!  The Dog Pound Cross-Ice is the "gateway" to the next division of hockey, Mites, however Cross-Ice is not required prior to enrolling your player as a Mite.
