Street hockey sessions for schoolchildren roll into city

THE National Hockey League (NHL) and Ice Hockey UK (IHUK) have announced a new partnership to deliver free access to NHL Street Hockey sessions - the league's ball hockey experience for youth abroad - for children ages 5-11 in schools across the United Kingdom, including here in Nottingham.

Additional learn-to-skate sessions will be available for participants.

The initiative, part of IHUK's 2024-2030 strategic plan, will provide fun, accessible and inclusive opportunities for children to experience hockey and learn fundamental skills of the sport, fit for newcomers and hockey fans alike.

NHL Street Hockey, which has already made an impact globally by building stronger links between hockey and local communities, removes traditional barriers to entry by focusing on fun, friendship and fitness, with no ice rink required.
