The Northbrook Sports Center’s Instructional Hockey Program serves children who have little or no hockey experience. Coaches from Northbrook Hockey League (NBHL) and Northbrook Bluehawks provide instruction.
All classes require a helmet with a cage, elbow pads, shin pads, and hockey skates are recommended. New participants receive a Northbrook Bluehawks jersey. Prorated classes are available, but must register in person.
