"Rock the House" with the ADIRONDACK House League
Termite Program
The Termite program is our introductory hockey program for our youngest group of members. It is predominately a "Learn-to-Skate" program to get those who are beginners or have never skated to become confident at skating. Once they are skating, the program also offers other basic hockey skills needed to play the sport of hockey. The Termites meet once per week from early November thru the end of March. The AYHA has recently purchased 20 complete sets of all equipment needed (excluding skates & stick) to borrow at no cost to get started. The equipment can be used until you purchase your own equipment or for the whole season. The equipment is ideal for 5 to 8 year olds and is free of charge. A separate, refundable deposit is required as collateral until the equipment is returned.
