Blizzard Rise & Shine Skates with Head Coach, Josh Gratton, is a three-week pilot program designed to give minor hockey players an opportunity to get on the ice before school and focus on skill development. Each 60-minute session will provide small-group instruction focused on skating, puck skills, agility, balance, speed, and overall player development. The program runs Monday and Thursday mornings from 7:15–8:15 a.m.
