WALKING HOCKEY

Walking Hockey offers a chance to play hockey with a lower physical impact, making it more accessible for a wider group of athletes. This program is available for everyone - across all ages, genders, and abilities. There's a way to play hockey for everyone! 

What is Walking Hockey?

Walking Hockey is a modified version of the game, played on a smaller field with a lighter ball. Sessions will consist of small warm-up activites followed by games, and participants are invited to stay after the sessions for a chance to chat and catch up with other players. 

Benefits of Walking Hockey include positive mental and social interaction, injury prevention/rehabilitation, physical activity, and community engagement.
