The First Shift program is back!
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 and most importantly, provide an experience that is memorable and fun.
First Shift provides kids ages 6-10 an opportunity to try hockey for $299, which includes a six-week on-ice trial, head-to-toe equipment and parent education.
The Listowel First Shift Welcome Event and gear fitting will take place on October 27th 2025 for registered players.
2025-26 registration links and program information is available at www.firstshift.ca
