• The Play It Forward Clinics occur over 4-weeks and exposes children to the exciting game of hockey, no experience is required and the aim of the program is to teach kids the basic skills needed in a fun and safe environment.

• The Play it Forward Scholarship provides an opportunity for (3) three children to continue their hockey journey. With our partners at Northwell Health, all costs associated with playing the game and training will be covered for (3) three years - this includes (but is not limited to) ice time, equipment, and game costs. To be eligible for the scholarship, children must have participated in the 4-week Learn to Play program. While this program does revolve around the sport of hockey, we will also cover the skills needed to be successful in all areas of life using the extensive resources of the Islanders and Northwell Health. Topics to be covered include nutrition, the importance of movement, career decisions, motivation, team building, collaboration, and more.

We strongly suggest children attend all four sessions, but if any conflicts come up please reach out to us.
