Bring a Friend to Hockey
The TGHA leadership and coaches will be on hand Monday January 7
for the 6:00-7:00 p.m. time slot at The RINK. Initiation (and House and
Recreation) girls are encouraged to bring newcomers at any time of the year,
but this night will be an especially easy one for beginners to be welcomed.
During this time slot, we will have the NYSAHA equipment available for use that
day for newcomers, and the TGHA equipment is accessible for those we plan to
sign up for Half Season for Initiation, House or Recreation.
Details to share with "Friends":
Girls in the Initiation program receive
lessons in skating and hockey skills and play games at the beginner level on
Mondays at 6:00 p.m. at The RINK and/or Thursdays at 5:15 p.m. at Cass Park
Rink. Girls may choose to attend the program only one day per week, or
for both sessions each week. Coaches emphasize having fun while safely
learning the fundamentals of the game of ice hockey. The Initiation program is
open to girls ages 4 and up. Girls can advance to TGHA’s House program
whenever they are deemed ready by the trained coaching staff.
For middle school and high school girls
who have some experience with hockey, TGHA offers Recreation Hockey on Thursday
nights at Cass Park Rink from 6:45 to 7:45 pm. Girls can enjoy skills
sessions and scrimmages in a fun, non-competitive atmosphere through the
Recreation program. Figure skaters who are interested in learning a new
dimension on ice are invited to join Recreation hockey as well.
In addition, TGHA is providing a new
opportunity for adult women who would like to try the sport of ice
hockey. Beginner Women’s hockey is offered on Thursdays from 6:45 to 7:45
pm at Cass Park Rink. Women are introduced to the fundamentals of the
game by a female coach/hockey player in a fun and supportive environment.
Participation is on a drop-in basis, but interested women are asked to RSVP by
noon each Thursday (email TGHA0708@yahoo.com or call Mary at 280-4380) to
ensure adequate staffing. Women (who must register with USA Hockey) will
be charged $10 per session they attend. Those women wanting to take their
hockey to the next level can continue by playing with the Ithaca Furies or
Sirens women’s hockey teams.
For more information about
registration, used equipment loans, and scholarships, call 539-6920 or email TGHA0708@yahoo.com.

can also be found at www.ithacagirlshockey.com.
