Little Av's Program

 

July 18th, 2008 - The Little Avalanche program is designed as a “Learn to Play Hockey”, “Intro Mites” program.  Little Av’s is a program that’s designed to help young players prepare to enter a Mite league.  The program is for young players that have completed a “learn to skate” program and can now continue on with their skating development while learning the skills necessary to play hockey.

The program will begin in early September and will continue through early March.  4 teams of 11 skaters each will be established having their own head coach.  The teams will have one practice on Saturday mornings from 8:40 to 9:40am and then play half ice games on Sunday morning from 8:10 to 9:10 am.  The cost of the program will be $575, total due at time of registration.

The director of hockey programming for the Ice Den, Casey Kesselring, will operate the program.  The Director, based on each individual player’s ability, will have the option of moving players between the Mini Avalanche program and the Little Avalanche program. 

Players should have completed at least two sessions of Mini Av’s, or another skating program. Players entering Little Av’s should be able to skate up and down the ice at a reasonable pace and be able to perform a two skate hockey stop in at least one direction.

Register now to guarantee a spot in this exciting program!

This season we are asking all parents to register their Mini and Little Avalanche players with USA HOCKEY for the 2008-2009 Season using the USA HOCKEY online registration process. Go to this webpage http://www.usahockeyregistration.com/ to begin the registration process: The NH Avalanche Registrar Kim Burgess will need to verify each registration before players and coaches are allowed to participate in any Ice Den Arena on ice practices and games.

Welcome to Avalanche Country

HISTORY:  The NH Avalanche was founded in March 2001 to provide a hockey development program with important advantages compared to traditional travel hockey organizations. The Avalanche is a non-profit corporation sharing common control with the Ice Den Arena in Hooksett, NH. As a result, the Avalanche enjoys access to the most desirable, prime-time hours at one of the cleanest, brightest, and most attractively laid out hockey facilities in New England. Our philosophy is simple: to provide excellent instruction and development to those youngsters truly interested in making the commitment to travel hockey, and to improvement. At the same time, we try to instill respect for teammates, opponents, and officials the virtue of old-fashioned sportsmanship that includes graciousness in both victory or defeat. We also ask parents to reinforce these lessons with their own behavior at the rink! Just as importantly, we strive to provide a positive and friendly environment so that hockey remains fun, and kids develop a love for the game, as well as athletic skill. Lastly, we try to teach children one of hockey’s greatest lessons that hard work produces rewards.
