Take the next step in your hockey journey with Lil’ Wild!

Ready to build confidence, sharpen your skills, and have more fun on the ice? Lil’ Wild LTP Hockey is designed for young players who are excited to keep learning and aren't quite ready for league play.

Formerly known as LTP 2.0, Lil’ Wild focuses on the fundamentals that help young players become confident hockey players:

• ⛸️ Skating
• 🏒 Stickhandling
• 🥅 Puck movement
• 👀 Game awareness
• 🎯 Overall confidence and hockey skills

Each session combines age-appropriate instruction with fun drills and small-area games, keeping players active, engaged, and excited to come back each week.

All instruction is led by USA Hockey-certified coaches who provide quality instruction, encouragement, and plenty of positive reinforcement.

The best part? Players can repeat Lil’ Wild as needed, giving every child the opportunity to develop at their own pace.
