When can I join the Icehawks?
Unexperienced players
Unexperienced members can only join once a year in September. We accept new members only once a year to make sure that we can provide enough time on the ice for all our members, buy the new equipment in bulk and to adjust the practice to the growing skill level of our new members during the year.
Experienced hockey players
Please contact us at info@icehawks.nl or via the Trail training form on our website and we will inform you if there is a possibility to join the team. We are always looking for extra players since we have three different teams.
The trial training
At the beginning of the season, we organize some intro practices where everyone (no matter if you are a total beginner or you have played for years) can try the sport. We will provide all the necessary gear and you can find out for yourself if ice hockey is something that you enjoy.
What to bring to the trial training?
Bring thick socks, long breathing (sports)clothing, like a tracksuit, and winter gloves (for safety reasons).
If you have your own gear (skates, sticks, kneepads etc.) please bring them.
What to expect from us?
We will make sure that you have all the gear you need and our coach Roger Provencher will explain to you everything you need. Every practice starts with a quick warmup and after that at the intro practice, you will do some drills and play some games. Feel free to ask any questions you might have to the coach, the players, and the board members – we will be more than happy to answer you. We can promise you you will have a blast.
