Gretzky Hour

Gretzky improved his skills one way; he practiced everyday on an outdoor rink.

Obviously, we do not have outdoor rinks in California but we have a solution. With no organized games, no coaches, Gretzky skated and stickhandled for hours experimenting and trying new things. This hour is designed for young players to just skate and work on any aspect of hockey he or she desires. And most importantly to have fun!

Each player is required to sign in before each session. Full USA Hockey Certified equipment required. No outside or private coaches allowed on the ice at anytime.

Program Fee: $21.00

Players and Goalies have to pay the full fee per session.

Sharks Ice at Fremont does not have a "regular" Ice slot for Gretzky Hour sessions. Instead, we try and add sessions whenever possible during the year. Please check back here regualary for slots and registrations.
