The North Toronto Learn to Play program is one of the most comprehensive hockey skills programs in the country designed for our youngest players. It combines professional, caring instructors with the latest strategies and techniques to ensure your child has a fun, safe and high-energy first experience of hockey. It is the perfect launching pad for any young child who wants to progress into our community House League or competitive hockey programs.

Learn to Play 2 (born 2013-2016) For players who have completed LTP 1 or equivalents below. Register Now!
Learn to Play athletes participate in a 50-minute session each week, equaling approximately 20 sessions.
Learn to Play sessions begin in October after Thanksgiving and end in mid-April.
There are no sessions scheduled over major holidays (Thanksgiving, Winter Break, Family Day, Easter) or during the public school March Break.
We have one of the few LTP programs in Toronto where only professional, trained instructors are teaching your children. We also offer a low instruction to child ration – never more than 6:1, with most classes at 4:1. All programs are run in local arenas close to our midtown community.
$635 for registrations June 1, 2020 and onwards, subject to availability.
NT is proud to have the professionals from Canadian Pro Hockey Clinic on our team. CPHC has been an active, trusted and properly insured member of our hockey community since 1995. They know hockey and they know how to teach it to kids.
All sessions progress from simple basics to more coordinated skill sets. Within sessions, players are grouped according to ability to ensure adequate instruction and practice for each skill.
Skating skills progression: balance and agility, edge control, starting/stopping, forward skating and striding, backward skating, turning and crossovers.
Stick and puck skills progression: stationary puck control, moving puck control, stationary passing/receiving, moving passing/receiving, shooting.
Fun: Small area scrimmages and fun are also an important part of this program!
