Lakeville Hockey Association is proud to partner with The Minnesota Wild and partners Minnesota Hockey, CCM and Total Hockey for the 2016 Little Wild Learn-to-Play program.  Registration will open at 10:00 am (CT) on Tuesday, May 10th at www.wild.com/littlewild.
 

The Little Wild program will begin in September, when up to 720 youth will have the opportunity to take part. Each participant will be outfitted with gear from head-to-toe and receive four hours of professional on-ice instruction for $100. The program will also promote the importance of regular exercise, team work, and developing leadership skills while having fun experiencing the game of hockey.


Registration for Little Wild Learn to Play will begin at 10:00 am (CT) on Tuesday, May 10th on www.wild.com/littlewild on a first-come, first-served basis for children age five to eight. The program is open to those who have not already participated in an organized youth hockey team or association. Completion of a learn-to-skate program is suggested in advance of Little Wild participation. Children with any previous hockey league or program experience (including previous Little Wild season) are not eligible to participate in the program.
 

The program at each location will be led by licensed USA Hockey and Minnesota Hockey instructors. Each participant will receive co-branded Little Wild and CCM equipment including skates, a hockey bag, jersey, helmet, gloves, pants, protective pads, hockey socks and a stick. The cost of the program includes all equipment and four hours of on-ice instruction. If not enrolled in the program, Little Wild equipment will still be available for purchase (youth sizes only) through CCM at local Total Hockey locations while supplies last.
