Hockey

Before you can score a goal, you need to learn to skate. In the hockey program, skaters will learn how to be proficient and agile on the ice. Davis County Youth Hockey Association (DCYHA) offers Learn to Play Hockey classes for boys & girls at the South Davis Recreation Center in Bountiful. Our course teaches the basics of ice hockey in a fun and inviting atmosphere. Although not required, it is also a great confidence builder for kids considering playing hockey in the upcoming fall/winter season. Each session is taught by USA Hockey certified coaches. This is NOT a learn-to-skate class, Basic skating ability is required to take this class.

It is recommended that if you are just starting out that you take some Learn to Skate Basics classes from the South Davis Recreation center, or private lessons from one of our professional skating coaches.
