Our intention is that this will become a regular feature in our youth coaching schedules in the future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are still three sessions to come so if you know of a young person, perhaps a sibling or a family member or even a friend of someone who is already playing hockey. who you think might enjoy the sessions, contact us by email to <a
