September 2026 New Player Sessions

So, your child is interested in playing hockey, but as a parent you are still nervous about signing them up and purchasing all of the necessary equipment just to find out that they may not even enjoy the sport. Gallatin Ice has developed a program, specifically for children ages 4 to 10 who want to learn to play ice hockey in a fun, encouraging environment. Players will focus on skating fundamentals and hockey development while getting introduced to the program in a structured and welcoming setting. With four free on-ice sessions, including all the necessary equipment rental, how can you say no?'
