The 2010-2011 season will from October 16, 2010 through March 2011.

The AHA Initiation Program focuses on skating and skill development in an environment where having fun is of primary importance.

The AHA Initiation Program is broken into two levels, Gold Initiation and Blue Initiation. Each level is open to boys and girls.

LEVEL 1-Gold Level (Learn to Skate for Both Boys and Girls) 

For beginning to moderate skaters. Emphasis is on skating skills and introduction to basic hockey skills. Players traditionally skate 1 hour on Saturday and 1 hour on Sunday at set morning times at Phillips Academy. Cost $ 500.00

 LEVEL 2 - Blue Level (In House for Boys and Girls)

For moderate to better skaters. Players should have completed at least one year in the Gold Level or the equivalent. Players continue to work on skating skills and hockey skills. Players are placed on a team and have games against other teams in the Blue Level. Children skate 2 hours a week, 1 game and 1 practice. Times are typically weekend mornings at Phillips Academy. The Blue Level teams must maintain a balance of ages and abilities for the safety of the younger children in the program. As outlined above, participation is limited to children with birth years 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005. Cost $ 600.00
