FMC Ice Sports’ Adult Instructional Hockey is a two-tiered 80-minute program designed to teach introductory adult skaters the basics of hockey through a combination of skills training and game play. Divided into Adult Learn-to-Play and Instructional Pick-Up, Adult Instructional Hockey is the perfect way for adults with little or no hockey experience to jump into the game or for former players looking get back into the game and shake the rust off.

From great exercise, a fun social activity or a sport that can teach life lessons, we have several programs that can benefit young and old, beginner and advanced and everything in between.
