The Sharper Edge Hockey Program is for those skaters who have demonstrated the skating skills required to advance into our hockey program. All players must be able to skate forwards and backwards and have completed the Sharper Edge Learn to Skate program or an equivalent Learn to Skate program. If you have questions about your child’s readiness, you may speak with the Director, Dawn DiMinico. Our Hockey Program is for those skaters that have mastered the skills of Learn to Skate. The following is a list of the programs we provide: Level 2 classes: This level is equal to a hockey initiation class. It is appropriate for skaters age 4-7 yrs who are learning the basics of hockey. This program is offered on Tuesdays and Saturdays. However, Saturday is a mixture of both Level 1 & 2. Full equipment is required. Level 1 classes: This level is for skaters who are 7-14 yrs and are more advanced in their hockey skills. The Directors will determine your child's readiness for this level. This program is offered on Tuesdays and Saturdays. However, Saturday is a mixture of both Level 1 & 2. Full equipment is required. School Vacation Hockey Sessions: These are offered in December, February, April and in the Summer. Hockey Edge Class: This class is an advanced skills class that works on edges, crossovers and upper level skating skills. The focus is on edge quality, control and proper technique. Admission to this class is at the discretion of the Director. Skater's must be at an advanced level to enter this class. Helmet, skates and hockey gloves are required. Shin pads are optional. Please read this booklet with your child. It will answer most of your questions. Thank you for choosing Sharper Edge. We look forward to a fun and successful year with you!

Bring a Friend

How to Dress
It is easier to control your child's body temperature if you dress him/her in layers. Have your child wear loose comfortable clothing so that his/her movements will not be restricted. Snow pants are recommended to keep the skater from getting wet when he/she falls. Waterproof gloves or mittens are best so that his/her hands stay warm and dry.

Cancellations
Especially during the winter months, weather related cancellations will be recorded on our answering machine at (978) 369 - 0088. Each session might have its own cancellation dates. Please look for scheduled cancellation dates on the "Application" under NO ICE and write them down!
