Youth Hockey Information
I've created this site for new hockey parents who are looking to get their son or daughter involved in a children's or youth hockey program. This is written from the perspective of a newer hockey dad who has recently started navigating the world of hockey.
On this site you will find information that will help to get your child started in the world of youth hockey. Whether it's finding a place to play, understanding the hockey equipment that's required, finding the equipment to use, being aware of the cost, or most importantly understanding the time commitment, my intent is to document this here.
The Hockey Guide will give you the basic data on how to get started in the game and hopefully eliminate some of the confusion that may exist. Here you will find various topics on the sport of hockey describing some of the things that I found confusing when I first got started in the sport. These topics cover items related to: getting started, the required equipment, where to find the equipment, and the costs you can expect to pay.
The Hockey Articles section is where you will find various articles that have been published on hockey programs and other items that pertain to the sport. I will post additional content related to hockey programs as they come to mind, so come back often to check out any new content. This may seem pretty basic to some of you, but keep in mind I've tried to gear this site to the hockey parent that doesn't have a lot of experience on the sport of hockey. Feel free to add any helpful comments to the articles section so it can help future readers of this site. In addition, if I've misstated anything I would welcome your clarification, as I don't claim to be an expert on the sport.
Finally, the Useful Links page will give you a few web links to check out that will further describe the sport. These are a few things that I've come across that I've found valuable during my many hours of research on the sport. I'll continue to update these as I find new sites that I think may provide value to a new hockey mom or dad.
