The Fredericton Youth Hockey Association is proud to announce that we have once again been approved to host the First Shift Program during the fall of 2016!
The First Shift makes the hockey experience possible for everyone. We provide all the equipment and necessities for the program so all you have to do is show up and get involved. Our goal is to change the way hockey is offered to bring 1,000,000 new families into the sport worldwide over the next 10 years.
THE FIRST SHIFT program is designed to ensure a positive experience for new to hockey families. This means breaking down the barriers that exist for many parents, and making you feel at home within our hockey community. We want you to experience the game at its best – understand why so many Canadians feel an inherent love for the sport – and stimulate a desire for continued participation. We want to take away any intimidation as it relates to equipment requirements, and/or rules of the game, remove potential safety concerns and most importantly, give you an experience that’s memorable and fun.
