The Portman Mighty Mites Program is starting January 12th, 2020 to introduce your child to the fun of ice skating and hockey.  The Mighty Mites is open to all new skaters ages 3-8 and is often a child’s first time on skates. It is taught in a “learn to skate” format with some basic hockey skills included. The program is outdoors at Portman and is completely free.

Hockey develops skills on the ice that build a foundation for a lifetime. In addition to athletic prowess, hockey promotes confidence, pride, focus and responsibility. With an emphasis on fun, hockey is a game to be played and enjoyed for life.

LIFE-LONG FRIENDSHIPS

Starting with the bonds created in the locker room to the relationships formed on ice, hockey creates life-long friendships. This camaraderie shared on and off the ice encourages teamwork and the natural development of leadership skills.

SETUP FOR SUCCESS

From learning to balance school, responsibilities at home, time at the rink and playing with friends, hockey encourages kids to learn time management skills that will later serve them in all facets of life. Hockey’s unique source of physical fitness promotes healthy living.

HOCKEY IS FUN

The thrill of carrying the puck up the ice on a breakaway, the exhilaration of scoring your first goal or making that amazing save is possible due to the encouraging environment hockey provides to try new things and grow as a hockey player and person.
