Northern Rivers School - Junior Hockey

MARVEL LEAGUE

Introduction

This is an exciting new initiative offered by Far North Coast Hockey Inc., providing primary school-aged children with the convenience and easy access to learn and play a competitive sport without compromising their regular weekend commitments, be it other sports, life, or social engagements.

This two-part program includes hockey training sessions on the home grounds of your child's school (or a nearby venue) and the chance to represent their school team in a competitive league. These league games will be played on turf on Friday evenings, where your child will compete against other regional schools participating in the Marvel League.

Children can learn the highly skilled game of hockey and apply their learned skills in real, turf-based competitive games.

Come & Try for FREE!

If your child is unsure if hockey is right for them, we invite them to attend the first training session for free. Simply complete the registration process, choosing the 'Come & Try' option on the payment/event-type page. If your child wishes to continue the program, re-register into the paying program.
