HISTORY |
In March 2000, while working as a skating instructor at |
| the Dix Hills Rink, Coach Lou noticed a lot of eager young |
| skaters in the Public Sessions. The Rink had no program |
| in place to get them started in hockey, so he endeavored |
| to start an Initiation Program. Starting with just 21 kids, |
| we very quickly grew to 6 teams with a total of 66 players. |
|
PHILOSOPHY |
|
"Fun with Fundamentals" de-emphasizes competition and |
| gives kids a chance to develop a love for the game with |
| multiple opportunities to play games and develop |
| individual skills. |
