We are pleased to announce that BLOMHA has been selected to host a National Hockey League (NHL) and National Hockey League
Player’s Association (NHLPA) First Shift program. Designed to ease kids and their families into
the sport of hockey by offering a program with a manageable time commitment that is
affordable, convenient and, most importantly, fun!
The NHL/NHLPA First Shift program is designed to ensure a positive experience for new-to hockey families. We want families to experience the game at its best — to understand why so
many Canadians feel an inherent love for the sport — and to 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, provide an
experience that is memorable and fun.
Don't forget to tell your friends.
