Learn to Play Hockey Program

Interested in Learning to Play Hockey?

Navy Youth Hockey Association has partnered with the Washington Capitals to allow players and parents new to hockey to discover if the game is for them by helping offset some of the start-up costs by offering learn to play hockey lessons and an equipment package at a deeply discounted rate.

What's Included

Each participant will become a member of Navy Youth Hockey Association, receive eight weeks of on-ice hockey instruction, as well as receive the following new equipment:

  • Hockey helmet with a cage
  • Shoulder pads
  • Elbow pads
  • Hockey gloves
  • Hockey pants
  • Shin guards
  • Skates
  • Jersey
  • Socks
  • Stick
  • Equipment bag

In addition to the equipment provided, we recommend that you purchase a mouth guard and athletic supporter. 

Fees

The program provides FREE head-to-toe equipment for your child to keep as they continue exploring youth hockey. However, there is a participation fee associated with the program which offsets ice and coaching expenses. 

How to Sign Up:

1) Visit the Washington Capitals site at this link to register.  Click the green "Sign Up To Play" button  & then choose "Navy Fall" or "Navy Winter"

2) Come back to the Navy site and register for LTP in our system  so we have your contact information. Be sure to register with the Learn To Play ONLY registration. 

3) Shortly after you have registered you will be contacted so arrangements can be made for equipment sizing.

That's it, as simple as 1, 2, 3 and then your child hits the ice.
