*Securing ice at the same day and time each week was not possible on short notice. We will strive for more consistent scheduling in future clinics. There is a very small chance that Terry Conners could close for repairs during the last two weeks of August, so those dates/times are currently TBD. We expect to hold these sessions on similar days and times, with exact dates to be confirmed soon. If the rink closes during those weeks, we will reschedule those sessions at the start of the season. We appreciate your flexibility.
While not required, the clinic is strongly encouraged for our travel players to get your child feeling sharp and confident heading into a highly competitive season.
