Grades K-9

D-C Youth Rec Hockey offers kids a fun, supportive environment to learn how to skate and play the game of hockey. The program focuses on skating, individual skills, team play, and scrimmages. No skating experience? No problem—we’ll teach you!

Practices are held at the DC Rec Center from December through February, giving players a consistent setting to build skills and confidence on the ice.

Equipment: Participants must provide skates, a helmet with a face mask, and a stick. A full set of hockey gear is recommended but not required. All players are also required to purchase a hockey jersey unless they already have one from a previous season (jerseys may be reused in future years). Please indicate jersey size during registration.

Season Celebration: Mark your calendars! The season wraps up with an End-of-the-Year Party on Saturday, Feb. 28, featuring grade-level scrimmages and an open skate session for families. A full party schedule will be shared closer to the event.

Bonus: Each player receives a FREE Open Skate Pass (valid December–February), distributed at the first practice.
