What They’re Saying

The SOC shinnes and August tournament have been some of the most fun I've had in a long time, hockey is very fun

I played everything but hockey growing up. After 53 years, I finally joined BH and found an amazing community. As a lifelong Oilers fan, I figured if I’m yelling at the TV, I should at least play. Now I’m yelling even more—loving the journey!

I moved to Canada a year ago and started watching hockey before I even arrived—getting into the Edmonton way of life. I planned to learn to skate in a year and play hockey in two. Eight months in, I’m already out there—maybe not Mcdavid yet, but definitely trying!

I never played sports growing up and couldn’t skate—my background was competitive bagpipes! When our daughters started ringette, I decided it was time to learn. I joined a learn-to-play program in fall 2023 and was instantly hooked. Learning to skate and play hockey alongside my husband has been an unexpected journey—and we’re loving every minute of it!

The safe and fun place to start your hockey journey
