Learn-to-Play/Rookie League
We’re excited to bring back our Adult Learn-to-Play “Rookie League,” beginning Thursday, October 15 at 9:30 p.m. and led by Coach Peter Tufts.
This program is designed for adults who are new to hockey and want to learn the game while developing basic hockey skills. Some prior ice-skating ability is strongly recommended.
If you are completely new to ice skating, we suggest starting with Cool Sports’ Learn-to-Skate program before jumping into Rookie League hockey instruction.
Ages
This program is for adults 18+
When
Thursday nights at 9:30 starting on October 15 2026 and concluding with a last session on Jan 14 2027. There will be a few Thursdays that will have to be skipped due to other ice commitments.
FUTURE PLANS
Our goal is to transition this Fall session into a winter "E" League. More info about that will come out during this session.
WHAT IS "E" LEAGUE
This “E” league is meant for players new to hockey that are still learning various aspects of the game. The goal (pardon the pun) is to give new players the environment to play on a team, on a full sheet of ice, in a regular KAHL league game. This should serve as a pathway from Rookie League into KAHL’s already established leagues.
2026 Fall Learn-to-Play
Registrations for adult learn-to-Play "Rookie League" ARE NOW OPEN. Registration will remain open until end of day Sunday September 27th.

We’re thrilled to offer the return of Adult Learn-To-Play "Rookie League" on Thursday nights at 9:30pm starting October 15 and hosted by Coach Peter Tufts. This program is geared to beginners to ice hockey who wish learn the game and basic skills. Some ice skating ability is strongly suggested. (If you're a true beginner to ice skating, we recommend you contact Cool Sports to get in on their Learn-to-Skate program before jumping into "Rookie League" hockey training.)
Over the course of the program you'll be exposed to individual skill drills, the rules of the game, basic positioning/play concepts and "game play" scrimmaging. Coach Peter's popular classes are fast paced and always fun!
The cost for ten (10) weekly sessions is just $295 (plus Crossbar service fees). Please send any specific inquiries to: coachtuftstn@gmail.com.
Note that we do not intend to offer weekly "walk in" participation in LTP once we get to the max. 30 registrants.
