The Rochester Edge Girls Hockey Program and Bill Gray’s Regional Iceplex have partnered to host a free, all girls try hockey program which starts on 10/28. The program is open to any girls 5 to 16 years of age.
The program is held on six consecutive Monday nights from 6:10pm to 7:10pm. Full equipment is provided or each session, along with hockey skates if needed. Instruction will be provided from women’s collegiate hockey players, Maksymum Hockey instructors along with Rochester Edge coaches and Iceplex Hockey Staff.
“We are thrilled to bring this program back.” states Jeff Kolcon, an Executive Board Member of Rochester Youth Hockey. “There are over 20 girls that went through this program 10 years ago that are playing NCAA college hockey now. More importantly, a large number beyond that are lifelong hockey players.”
“We are very excited to be the host for an event such as this,” said Chris Woodworth, General Manager at the Iceplex. “One of our main goals is to introduce local children to ice sports, which in turn leads to exercise and healthier lifestyles for those children. We aim to do this at little to no cost when possible, so we are proud to have the Rochester Edge as a partner, which enables us to offer this at no cost to all participants.”
