Hockey 201

The Timbits Hockey 201 program is the vital second stage in the Iceplex's proven Learn to Play Hockey pathway. It is specifically designed to take players from the fundamentals mastered in Hockey 101 (a required prerequisite) and propel them toward the full team experience.

Timbits 201 acts as the critical bridge for players to transition into Pre-Mites, the foundational entry program for the full youth hockey organization experience. By the end of this program, your child will be fully prepared and confident to take that next exciting step.
