Little Preds LTP Hockey!

Presented by KAHA, Cool Sports, and the Nashville Predators

Discover the Thrill of Hockey!

KAHA, Cool Sports, and the Nashville Predators are teaming up to offer an exciting, low-cost opportunity for kids to experience the thrill of hockey for the very first time!

The Little Preds Learn to Play Hockey Program is designed for children ages 5–9 who are new to the sport. Over multiple weeks, participants will learn the fundamentals of ice hockey in a fun, safe, and supportive environment.

• The minimum age for Learn to Play is 4 years old turning 5 by the start date of the program.

PROGRAM HIGHLIGHTS

• Eight (8) weeks of on-ice instruction and lessons (extended thanks to a KAHA grant!)
• A brand-new head-to-toe set of hockey equipment (including a stick!) — yours to keep, provided by the Nashville Predators and Pure Hockey
• Recommendations for continued hockey development after completion
• A graduation pizza party to celebrate your child’s progress

Special Offer: KAHA has secured a grant to enhance the Learn to Play experience!

Traditionally a 6-week program, Little Preds is now 8 weeks long — giving players even more time to build skills and have fun on the ice.

• In addition, KAHA and the Smoky Mountain Skating Academy are partnering to offer a discounted Learn to Skate add-on option for Little Preds participants — helping young players build confidence on the ice from the start!

We are ALWAYS in need of Coaches. Please email the Hockey Director, Tim Sinasac at timsinasac@gail.com if you would be willing to volunteer your time.

We can help direct you with what needs to be done to coach. If you have not already coached before this must be done before stepping on the ice.

Does this program sellout?

YES...Due to high demand, our last 12 sessions sold out quickly. Don’t miss your chance to join!

What local rinks provide a Learn to Skate program?

Cool Sport and the Ice Chalet provide Lean to Skate programs in the area.

Ordering hockey equipment?

All equipment ordering and delivery is handled by Nashville Predators & Pure Hockey. Equipment is delivered to your home.

My son/daughter has no skating experience, do they need to take a skating class first?

NO...While it’s encouraged, prior participation in a Learn to Skate program at a local rink is not required to join Little Preds Learn to Play. We spend the first couple weeks of the program doing a multitude of skating work to get the players mobile and comfortable on the ice.
