Hockey school
Registration begins Oct. 5 for the Fall II Mt. Lebanon Hockey School and Development League. Applications are being accepted on line at www.mtlebanon.org or by calling 412-561-4363. Fee is $112 for the seven-week programs, which begin in November.
Ages 4-12 are eligible for the hockey school, which offers new and innovated concepts based on the philosophy that hockey should be fun. All ability levels can participate and learn the skills of the game in a progressive, non-pressure atmosphere. Classes are small and taught by P.S.A. Skating Professionals and certified USA Hockey Instructors. Weekly scrimmages are featured.
The developmental program is a noncompetitive and “no-check” league. Skaters are divided into two age groups: 5-8 and 9-12. Equal ice time is guaranteed. To insure balanced teams, registration is accepted on an individual basis, with each player rating himself/herself. Full equipment is required.
