Quad City Hockey Association's Try Hockey for Free events are designed to provide kids ages 4 to 17 the opportunity to try hockey in a FUN, safe environment with trained coaching staff. 

No experience necessary! There will be plenty of assistance on hand to be sure your child has the best first hockey experience and answer any questions you might have. 

August 17th; Co-ed 11:30-1:00pm

October 19th; Girls Only 11:30am-12:00pm and Co-ed 12:00-1:00pm

December 28th; Co-ed 11:30am-1:00pm

What to bring: We encourage those who have access to equipment to please bring it. If you do not have any equipment, you will need to bring:

• A loose-fitting pair of sweatpants or snow pants
• A pair of gloves (they don’t need to be hockey gloves- mittens are fine)
• *Neck guards are now mandatory for all participants.  If you don't have one, the QCHA will have some that may be borrowed.
• A helmet (a bike helmet works great!)
• A Smile

What will be provided:

We have skates and a limited amount of equipment available for you to borrow. If you have any equipment questions, please let us know.

ON-ICE EXPERIENCE: No parents will be allowed on the ice unless you have completed all the USA Hockey Coaching requirements.  We will have plenty of coaches on hand to give your child a great youth hockey experience.  The kids will get an opportunity to learn the basic skills of youth hockey and enjoy their first game if time permits.

If you have any additional questions, please feel free to contact Allen Arndt at onegoal@quadcityhockey.com.
