WINTER LEARN TO SKATE/LEARN TO PLAY REGISTRATION IS NOW OPEN!  LINK TO REGISTER IS BELOW. 

 

The STHA is excited to announce an update for this coming season!  This year, the STHA will be offering both a Learn to Skate (LTS) as well as a Learn to Play (LTP) program.  Thanks to a generous sponsorship by the Binghamton Devils, the 2019-2020 LTS and LTP sessions will be FREE for all participants (excluding your equipment costs)! A special THANK YOU to the Binghamton Devils for supporting this great program and youth hockey in the Southern Tier!

LTS and LTP are introductory programs designed for children to have fun while learning the skills necessary to move forward through the STHA, eventually transitioning from LTS and LTP programs to the 8U Program and beyond.  See the below graphic for guidelines on the LTS, LTP and 8U programs. 



There will be a 10 week LTS and LTP program in the fall (October – December) and another 10 weeks in the winter (January – March).

The LTS and LTP programs will be held on Saturday mornings at SUNY Broome Ice Center with LTS for the first 45 minutes and LTP for the final 45 minutes.  Players can only participate in either LTS or LTP (not both), and players participating in the 8U program cannot participate in LTS or LTP.  Players can consider transitioning from LTS to LTP, or from LTP to 8U between the fall and winter sessions.

Online registration for the 10 week fall session (Oct – Dec) is currently open (registration link is below).  Enrollment for both LTS and LTP will be capped at 45 players each, so please make sure to register soon after registration opens. Registration for the 10 week winter session (Jan – Mar) will be in December.

Information on options for equipment will also be forthcoming.  If you have any questions, please email Greg Laubisch (glaubisch@hotmail.com).
