Registration for the Sports Etc. & William's Fund Learn-to-Play Program is Open

The Arlington Hockey Club (AHC) is once again offering a special "Learn to Play Hockey" program for players new to the game! This program is for beginning skaters, ages 4 - 7, that would like to try hockey. While the program is hosted by AHC, it is sponsored by Sports Etc. and the Brent Williams Fund, which will provide select equipment, jerseys, and sticks free of charge (currently we anticipate players will receive a stick, jersey, skates, gloves, shin guards, and elbow pads; a helmet will need to be purchased). Enrollment in this program is open to new Arlington families that have not been AHC members previously. 

While, participation in this program is free of charge, each player must register with USA Hockey, which carries a minimal fee. The program enrollment is limited to 35 players. You can register for the program here.

It is our hope that participants in this program will enjoy the sport enough to matriculate into AHC's Instructional or Developmental programs.

AHC Bantam Fishing Trip

Bantam Fishing Outing

AHC's Bantam team gathered together at Spy Pond for a team fishing outing. A number of the players are experienced fishermen and shared their expertise in leading the event. The team spent a better part of four hours at the pond, helping each other fish. They had a great day with everyone in attendance catching at least one fish--perch, bass, and even a pike were all on their lines!
