Press release<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Batavia, NY \u2013 GENESEE AMATEUR HOCKEY ASSOCIATION invites children to the David M. McCarthy Memorial Ice Arena on Evans Street on Saturday, November 5th for a Try Hockey For Free clinic as part of Hockey Week Across America. Starting at 11:40 a.m. to 12:50 p.m. local youth, ages 4 to 9, are encouraged to experience ice hockey for the first time and learn the basic skills in a fun, safe environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe look forward to welcoming families to David M. McCarthy Memorial Ice Arena to try our great sport of ice hockey,\u201d said Sharon Gray, Coordinator of the Event. \u201cOur goal is for these families to enjoy watching their kids learn new skills with big smiles on their faces.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

USA Hockey\u2019s Try Hockey program, with the support of the National Hockey League and NHL member clubs, among others, is designed to provide youth hockey associations with a national platform for introducing children to the sport, free of charge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All your youngster needs are a helmet (bike or sports) and winter gloves. Skates are available at the rink free of charge (due to the generous offering of the Batavia Sports Facility Management LLC). The GAHA organization does have some used hockey helmets available for the event as well as a few hockey sticks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Players in attendance will be given a free hockey jersey to take home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
