MinorHawks/Pre-Hockey

WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW FOR YOUR FIRST DAY

Congratulations on taking the first of many steps, or should I say strides in your hockey journey!!

The MinorHawks/Pre-Hockey Director,  Coach Jerry Fronek and his staff will be there to help answer any questions you may have before and after the session.

Here are a few quick tips to help make your first day fun and exciting!

Please have your child there 30 minutes early for check in at the Jaguar desk and equipment check out.

Have the player try their assigned helmet on first before all other equipment to assure a good fit.

As a reminder skates are not included in the One Goal equipment bag but there is a limited amount of rental skates available through Jaguars and the park district.

Once you have registered with the Jaguars you will need to register with USA Hockey http://www.usahockeyregistration.com.  There is a $30 fee for children over the age of 6.  Any skater under the age of 6 the $30 fee does not apply.

 **After skaters complete the Jaguar Minor Hawk and Pre-Hockey programs, they then graduate into Jaguar Cross Ice ADM  program.  This developmental league allows skaters multiple puck touches as they learn basic skills that they will use the rest of their hockey careers.  This two-to-three day a week program includes skills, practices, and games.  Visit out ADM tab on the web site.
