Welcome to Little Blackhawks Learn to Play!

Developed with the help of experts from USA Hockey and Hockey Canada, the Learn to Play initiative aims to be the gold standard for youth hockey programs with the goal of inspiring more families to join the hockey community. Learn to Play changes the way youth hockey is offered by providing first time participants, between 4-9 years of age, head-to-toe equipment, age-appropriate instruction and certified coaching, led by NHL Alumni, in a fun and safe atmosphere. This program is for first-timers only. If you have previously participated in Little Blackhawks or if you already play on a team, you cannot enroll for this program.

If you are interested in registering for a session this Winter, it is highly recommended a Learn to Skate program is completed before starting Little Blackhawks. You may register for one at your local rink, or at your Little Blackhawks host location.

The Little Blackhawks program includes 6-8 weeks of lessons at a local ice rink and a full set of equipment! Weekly sessions are run by ice rink staff and local coaches.

Registration Fees Include:

• Six (6) to eight (8) weeks of ice time and lessons at a local rink
• A full set of brand-new gear to keep 
• Appearances by Chicago Blackhawks Alumni
• One (1) ticket to a Chicago Blackhawks home game in the 2022-2023 season
