Our Promise
The Program
FHIT First Shift is an age-appropriate development and game program for young players ready to build their skating, puck skills, and confidence in a fun, supportive environment.
Players train each week in small training groups that give every player meaningful repetition and instruction, while small-area games give them the chance to compete, score, make plays, and experience the joy of hockey.
Every Wednesday
Each week blends focused development with game-like play, so players improve and have fun doing it.
Develop
Age-appropriate, small-group instruction means every player gets meaningful repetition on skating and puck skills, and real attention from their coach.
Play
Game-like experiences give players the opportunity to compete, score, make plays, and experience the joy of hockey every single week.
