The Chicago Blackhawks Are Excited To Offer The Little Blackhawks Learn To Play Program For The Second Year! Developed with the help of experts from USA Hockey and Hockey Canada, the Learn to Play initiative aims to be the gold standard for youth hockey programs with the goal of inspiring more families to join the hockey community. Learn to Play changes the way youth hockey is offered by providing first time participants, between 5-9 years of age, free head-to-toe equipment, age appropriate instruction and certified coaching, led by NHL Alumni, in a fun and safe atmosphere. This program is for first-timers only. If you participated in Little Blackhawks last year, you cannot enroll this year.

Registration opens in December and sessions begin in the Spring! Sign up for Little Blackhawks at https://www.nhl.com/blackhawks/community/learn-to-play
